How Young We Used To Be

You know how young we used to be

2010 - Jill Kettles

You see my picture on the wall

I was young and no good at 6ft tall

Strung out through my mind

And robbing myself blind

That was back awhile

Long time ago and just the other day

It was a birthday

A wedding and a funeral

that just passed by

You know how young we used to be

Just me you and free

Nowadays I wear a St. Michael Coin

Hoping it will see my crying

It keeps me safe at bay

I kiss it every night when I pray

You see how the clock has got me

Right between the eyes

With a busted nose

To match my heartbreak

You know how young we used to be

Just me you and free
