Where is this place with no alleys or roads
With water aplenty and sun-shining loads
No expectations, no rules and no codes
The mornings were endless and
Time nearly froze

You knew me then, you knew me then
I must have slept while you
Became the better man
You knew me then, you knew me grand
I had a lifetime to spend

There were the plans you chose not to forsake
I was a bit older, ten years give or take
But your heart was unsettled
All willing to ache
Right there with the music that kept me awake

You knew me then, you knew me then
I must have slept while you
Became the better man
You knew me then, you knew me grand
I had a lifetime to spend

The light headed and clear has
Turned baffled and deep
With luggage to carry and no hours of sleep
Now the city is smoking
But the language is cheap
The mornings seem shallow
And conversations brief

You knew me then, you knew me then
I must have slept while you
Became the better man
You knew me then, you knew me grand
I had a lifetime to spend
