I can remember heaven
it came to me only seven years ago
when I was a lad and from the
professionals I got fired
Had a good time in a way
took a different trip a day
buried the fear that I was
only here to be borrowed or hired
Chorus: Oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same
(Shame ! Shame !)
Young enough to have some fun
old enough to hold a gun
I can remember playing games with
pistols not so long ago
Many times I reminisce
about this solitude and bliss
we enjoyed as children
O did we really have to grow ?
Chorus: Oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same
(Shame ! Shame !)
She came to me soft, asunder
showed me the distant thunder blue
told me the clouds could help us all
