Danielle Dax When I Was Young
When I was young
The sky seemed so tall
Everything shone in the happiest sunlight forever
And tunnels of leaves
Made specially for me
Led to a magic place where I could hide for a while
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
When I was young
The summers were long
Under the beach-huts my brother and I would be playing
And we would find shells
To put on my sill
Gathering dust as they lay unattended till Spring
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
When I was young
The wind knew my name
Clouds would make castles and creatures with faces I'd dream of
The sweet-scented breeze
Was special to me
Kept in a place near my heart where I go when I'm sad
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
