Ice Cream Days - Tanya, Never Had a Friend Like You
Down to the village shop
The wind is high, it's rushing through the trees
We kicked a puddle and scuffed our shoes
A shilling in each pocket, for liquorice
And chews
Down from the high hilltop
Sliding down the banks, we tumbled as we flew
Swam in the streams
And made clay pots, bought clothes from jumble sales
We wouldn't buy anything new
Oh that would never do
Tanya
I've never had a friend like you
We shared everything, we talked
And loved and grew
Tanya
I've never had a friend like you
We took on everyone and no one could stop us
Doing what we wanted to
Girl, I miss you
Yesterday I called you up
I wanted to know, did you remember me?
But your love is gone, someone has cut you down
Now you're trying to find your way
To safer ground
Go now before you drown
Remember the ice cream days
Whistle to the wind and blow away the night
With a penny in your pocket, you could go to the shop
Give your smile to the lady, and steal everything she's got
Sky's the limit when you break the lock
Tanya
I've never had a friend like you (You've got your whole lifetime, girl)
We shared everything, we talked
And loved and grew (You've got your whole life, whole lifetime)
Tanya
I've never had a friend like you (You've got your whole lifetime, girl)
We took on everyone and no one could stop us
Doing what we wanted to (You can find your silver wings)
Girl, I miss you (Go put on your silver wings)
Whistle to the wind
And bring your roller skates too
You can find your silver wings
Go put on your silver wings
You can find your silver wings
