Текст песни The Best Years Of Your Life, Kid

Last year, I was told by a gentleman

You're looking at the best years of your life, kid

Well, I guess they they're scheduled settle in

Cause anything is better than a best like this

Now the wise men whisper in their wisdom

And they're telling me that "nothing lasts"

But I would bet that these bridges have been burning

Back before I ever struck a match (nothing lasts)

I'm not betting man, but if I was?

I would bet my bottom dollar that the world is flat

They said I'm wrong, cause I'm looking at the surface

And I'll never find a pearl like that

I wish my mother would have took us back home

When she threatened our behavior on the way to the beach

This house once echoed with the sounds of laughter

Till we shattered it's eyes and nailed boards to it's teethWitness - The Best Years Of Your Life, Kid - http://ru.motolyrics.com/witness/the-best-years-of-your-life-kid-lyrics.html

Last year I was told by a gentleman

That trust can be a neighbor to regret and mistake

We're just children in the garden of tomorrow

Playing ding dong ditch with the heavenly gates

When I was seven or eight

I would wait for the winter months

Making snow angels

Till the wings made my fingers numb

And then I'm twenty one, wishing I was twelve

Feeling like I'm forty-seven, bored to death of this living hell

Someday I'll bundle all the children up in layers

For the February blizzard blowing over Pennsylvania

And pray they never learn the lesson that I have tonight

That the moments in the photographs are never coming back to life

But the sky ain't falling, my dear, it's changing colors
