Lyrics

Thinking about the days when we were young
the world was new, I never gave it any thought
to busy playing astronauts

The endless sky was swallowed by the sun
setting on an action figure window sill
the softly fading light behind the hill

I see it in her face when we’re alone
we search the skies for clouds that look like pirate ships
and touch the grass with finger tips

An echo rings across a summer night
relieving silence of its timeless mystery
and let it slip away to childhood dreams

Movies playing in my head, with eyes wide open
and as the sunset fades to red, thinking about the days
I watched them float on by

Abbey can we go out to the beach
they day won't last and things aren't what they used to be
I'm not the man you choose to see

I look up to the shoreline creeping in, I look for you
and see your castles washed away.
We said goodbye to the endless days

Movies playing in my head, with eyes wide open
and as the sunset fades to red, thinking about the days
I watched them float on by
