I remember when we were young

Kids playin' wild and free

Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows

All these passing years

So why the tears are falling so

Why the cryin' bitterly

Wandering through a shadowland

With no escape for me

The old tree is leafless in the forest

The old lake is drying out in the sun

The same dreams, always they're returning

I'd better run, better run away

You can leave a light on

If you're afraid of the dark

Sleeping with the light on

To fight back the night is sometimes hard

You can leave a light on

Sleeping with the light on

Sun has left me for too long

My days are painted grey

Memories come rushin' in

I wish my love had stayed

Again the tears are falling down

I cry myself to sleep

My heart is heavy in overload

I need a song to weep

This old heart keeps a fire burning

And the flame is lingering deep inside

And the pain has always been returning

I'd better run, better run away
