Where is this place with no alleys or roads
With water aplenty and Sun-shining loads
No expectations, no rules and no codes
The mornings were endless and time nearly froze
You knew me then, you knew me then
I must have slept while you became the better man
You knew me then, you knew me grand
I had a lifetime to spend
There were the plans you chose not to forsake
I was a bit older, ten years give or take
But your heart was unsettled, all willing to ache
Right there with the music that kept me awake
You knew me then, you knew me then
I must have slept while you became the better man
You knew me then, you knew me grand
I had a lifetime to spend
The light-headed and clear has turned baffled and deep
With luggage to carry and no hours of sleep
Now the city is smoking, but the language is cheap
The mornings seem shallow and conversations brief
You knew me then, you knew me then
I must have slept while you became the better man
You knew me then, you knew me grand
I had a lifetime to spend
