Big Sur

Back when we where younger And the days were more naïve When we had more time, When we had more style All the years still up our sleeve Oh, did you ever stop and wonder Would the feeling ever leave? When the days grow flat And you can't go back It's a long way back It's a long way back now Oh, those early days were longer, Only moving as a breeze There was nothing for miles, And nothing but time To burn off as we pleased And if we ever stopped and wondered We would only ever dream But those days don't last And you can't go back It's a long way back, It's a long way back now. And if you ever go back there And if you ever go back again Tell me how we can build up And start up again When all we ever did was tear down? And if you ever go back there If you ever go back again Tell me how we can build up And start up again When all we ever did was tear down? It's a long way back, A long way back now It's such a long way back, A long way back now And it's a long way back, A long way back now All that time felt like forever All those moments here to stay In a flicker I'm an old man And it hurts me just to stay All those years are now behind me All my youth it's just the past And my brightest days are wasted I'm left with broken second chance Do I fight to get right back there? Do I let it fall to dust? When every ounce within me Slowly turns to rust In a moment this is over And the years are further gone And it's a long way back, A long way back, A long way back, Such a long way back now And if you ever go back there And if you ever go back again Tell me how we can build up And start up again When all we ever did was tear down? And if you ever go back there And if you ever go back again Tell me how we can build up And start up again When all we ever did was tear down? In a moment this is over And it's a long way back, A long way back now It's such a long way back, A long way back now And it's a long way back, A long way back now In a moment this is over
