The Times


When I was a boy
I stole my sister's clothes
She was too cool to notice
I was young & far too bold
Mother was done playing
She'd walked further thanmost
We rarely ever talked about
What was given
And was lost

Those were the days
Those were the times
When yours meant ours
And ours meant mine
Those were the days
Those were the times
With a baby and a wife
Out of sight and out of mind

So why don't we talk about
What we leave behind
Till levees break
And wolves growl on either side
Till one must run away
While another begs to stay
Treading silent as a shadow
With the hour growing late

Those were the days
Those were the times
When yours meant ours
And ours meant mine
Those were the days
Those were the times
When ambition in a woman
Was out of sight and out of mind
