My Long Lost Youth

My Long Lost Youth

Oh for the days of my long lost youth
Making paper airplanes, watching em glide
Looping like barnstorming pilots of the 30s
Above the trees like birds on high

Our imagination didn't see paper airplanes
We saw ourselves as pilots on board
Soaring skyward with not a worry in the world
We could even hear the engines roar

Another favourite pastime was climbing trees
Just like the masts on a pirate ship
Looking out on the ocean with a telescope
A pistol hanging from my hip

Another fantasy, being a famous hockey star
Heard the cheering of adoring fans
Dreaming at night, scoring the winning goal
No more school, no more final exams

Oh for the old days, hmm I might rethink that
It's pretty damn good from where I sit
Each stage in live has it's own special happening
Now? I'm happy as a piggy in shit!!!
