Today is as grey as ashes
And tomorrow hasn’t a prayer
The past is a foreign county
And they do things different there
The past smells of spice and polish
And the sun shines every day
Its glory can burn forever
And it scars you as you play
Our dreams are taken from us
And memory’s a sweet disease
That clouds the mind
We feed on our illusions
Where everyone was beautiful
And brave and kind
The past is a magic garden
Set behind a wall of years
Where the boys wear swords of laughter
And the girls weep sugar tears
You mourn for your missed connections
As the seasons spin too fast
You only remember the sunshine days
In the county of the past
