When I Was a Boy

Lyrics
When I was a boy Over the hills and far away, I played Away from the bustle of the northern town Where the gra** was green The sky was blue and the air was clean Away from the smoke of the factories When I was a boy All day long, I played Running on the moors with my mate Dave We could be pirates on the sea Or we would be superheroes With lives to save We could be anything we wanted to be When I was a boy Wеll, summer time was endlеss The days would roll on by And nothing would come between us My friend and I When I was a boy I was taken away from that northern town Taken from my friends and my families To a world of sleepless nights And wondering what I'd done wrong And why was this happenning to me? When I was a boy When I was a boy Now, maybe years have pa**ed Since I was in that northern town And everything is different nowadays No more factories They were the heartbeat of that town And the moors’ carved up with motorways When I was a boy But I will still remember The way it used to be But living in that northern town Is my best memory
