Well there´s a color picture
In my mind.
Of all the places
That I´ve left behind.
The broken windows
Where the wind blows through
Empty shells of houses
That have turned to ruin.

Oh, we were so young.
We didn´t realise
Just what we´d done.
Oh, we were too young.

[Chorus:]
And I remember you.
You were the back yard boy.
Hiding in the wreckage
Of broken dreams.
Standing by the railway line.
Standing.

Oh, we were so young.
We didn´t realise
Just what we´d done.
Oh, we were too young.

And all the sweetness
Has been taken out of this place.
So many memories
Are knocked down or replaced.
And I can´t stand to see
The shifting time
Taking me further,
Leaving you behind.

[Chorus]
