We Used To Know

. Whenever I get to feel this way

. Hard to find new words to say

. I think about the bad old days

. We used to know

 

[Verse 2]

. Nights of winter, turn me cold

. Fear the dying, getting old

. We ran the race, the race was won

. By running slowly

 

[Verse 3]

. Could be soon we'll cease to sound

. Slowly upstairs, . faster down

Then to revisit stony grounds

. We used to know

 

[Verse 4]

. Remembering mor-nings, shillings spent

. Made no sense to leave the bed

. The bad old days they came and went

. Giving way to fruitful years

[Verse 5]

. Saving up the birds in hand

. While in the bush the others land

. Take what we can be-fore the man

. Says it's time to go

 

[Verse 6]

. Each to his own way I'll go mine

. Best of luck with what you find

. But for your own sake re-member times

. We used to know
