about
This song was the first and hopefully not the final track my father helped sing vocals on. You can here his beautiful voice harmonizing in the chorus.
lyrics
it was the summer of 76, we forgot our tent in the wilderness, so we unrolled our bags and slept underneath the stars
we were kids, you with flowers in your hair and I had my share of boyish charm, we were ready for adventure, we'd go anywhere
chorus
and it felt so good to be young to be free, to be far removed from the world and all its woes, and for a while it felt like we were home, it felt like home
we found a boat, and floated down stream, and mother nature welcomed us, it was like a dream, oh we had hope, we had directon , we were not alone
We fell in love, with the peace and quiet, just the two of us, far away from the riots, and at night we built a fire and to eachother we spilt forth our life desires
it was the winter of 98, twenty two years of gaining weight, children, debt, life and death, oh a relationship of love and hate
One night I stumbled upon, those photographs of 76 when we were quicker to jump, ready to smile, lighter it seemed, oh it seems like such a long time, ago
Oh now my love, we are 82, oh and regrets we've had a few, but we've raised fine children, we did our best, we lived life to the fullest, forget the rest
oh so now my love, the time has come, to depart from this mortal coil, I just want you to know If I had to do it again, I'd still toil it with you, this journey
with my closest friend
we were kids, you with flowers in your hair and I had my share of boyish charm, we were ready for adventure, we'd go anywhere
chorus
and it felt so good to be young to be free, to be far removed from the world and all its woes, and for a while it felt like we were home, it felt like home
we found a boat, and floated down stream, and mother nature welcomed us, it was like a dream, oh we had hope, we had directon , we were not alone
We fell in love, with the peace and quiet, just the two of us, far away from the riots, and at night we built a fire and to eachother we spilt forth our life desires
