lost world - tony marcus lyrics
[verse 1]
sometimes it seems so long ago
those days when i was young
yet the taste of yesterday still lingers on my tongue
these visions of a vanished world
compel me to explain
what we have lost to never find again
[verse 2]
there was a time when flowers bloomed
the air was fresh and clear
the sunlight was a glory then
and not something to fear
the birds would sing the day away
in trees that grew so green
we didn’t mean to steal that from our children
[chorus]
in autumn we would walk for hours
on trails of red and gold
in spring time all was green an unexpected
in summer, rivers flowed to sea
with sparkling fish untold
and winter brought its snow and rain
i laugh to think that we complained
[verse 3]
and there were bees, the golden bees
that you will never know
and hawks that flew in circles as we walked down below
we drank from streams, it was no dream
i swear that it was true
my god how could we ever let it happen?
[guitar solo]
[verse 4]
the snows have melted from the peaks
the river’s gone to clay
the nests are all deserted, the birds have flown away
the forest’s cleared, and disappeared
are flowers, fish and tree
except within these memories that i offer
[verse 5]
for you who’ll never know these things
i bow my head and cry
a world long gone to everyone
with greed; the reason why
too much, too soon, too often
with no thought of days to come
too late to bring it back now that we’ve lost it
[chorus]
in autumn we would walk for hours on trails of red and gold
in spring time all was green and unexpected
in summer rivers flowed to sea
with sparkling fish untold
and winter brought its snow and rain
i laughed to think that we complained
[verse 6]
you mad old fool, i hear you say
and i can not deny
it’s bound to seem unreal today
these tales of times gone by
but thoughtless ones like me, who used it up can still recall
a world of plenty, lost to us forever
