lyrics

A long long time ago,
When the fields lay heavy with the milo,
Honey flowed from the walls in the barn,
My hair was like a wheat field.
There was a skeleton of a cat
And the black dog had just one eye,
Horses ran in the pasture’s maze,
One time you hid in the barn at night.

Yeah those were the days,
I was young and free,
Living my own imaginary,
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days

Ridin on the motorbike,
Through fields and dusty roads,
Once you crashed in Africa,
You might of torn your clothes.
You took the head of a snake
With the blunt of your spear,
Malaria got you once or twice,
The devil shook you to tears.

Ah those were the days,
You were young and free,
Living their visionary,
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days

Yeah we went on a walkabout,
You were my man of the middle west,
Cried for The Lady Land
When she couldn’t stand the test.
But we both fled the pocket
In the middle of the west,
And every time I think of you
I wish you the best.

Ah those were the days,
We were young and free,
Anything but ordinary,
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days
Ah those were the days

Who gets carried with you
All your life,
All your life
Who gets carried with you
All your life,
All your life,
All your life.
