You and I (When We Were Young)

Dave Cousins

I sometimes sit and think about our evenings in the firelight
You and I when we were young
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows that were dancing on the wall

Without a care, with time to spend
Hardly speaking for hours on end
That was you and I when we were young

Walking hand in hand beside the river at the weekends
You and I when we were young
Children with their fishing nets were laughing as they took their catches home

Caterpillars in paper bags
Knees tied up with dirty rags
That was you and I when we were young

Brushing through the fallen leaves together in the autumn
You and I when we were young
Planning for the future without knowing what it held for us at all

The road to nowhere never climbs
We changed direction a dozen times
That was you and I when we were young
