The days we were free
Hold on strongly in my mind
Though they're a loss to me and they have been for some time
In my memory
I will always see your smile
As we walked hand in hand those country miles
And when you move like that
Its almost
Like your dancing all on your own
And there's no one else around
You're alone
And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young and the free
When the only street lights
In the dark nights were the stars
And the village hall danced to the pipes and the guitars
Girls with paint and powder
Couldn't be prouder of their styles
And their lipstick served to hide their drunken smiles
And when you move like that
Its almost
Like your dancing on a new road
And there's no one else around
You're alone
And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young and the free
Living in the city
Rife with pitty and regret
And I stand on this road like a man who's lost his way
There's a land of plenty
Past this barron emptyness outside
But it's lost as dreams for another day
And when you move like that
Its almost
Like your dancing on a new road
And there's no one else around you
You're alone
And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young
And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young
And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young and the free
