Another Lifetime
[Verse 1]
It was in another lifetime, it was another world
We were young then, lived life without a care
Peace was the word, we wore flowers in our hair
The going was so easy in the company of friends
Summer days drifting like a feather on the wind
We never thought that it could end
[Verse 2]
We thought we were immortal, full of the confidence of youth
Wine-infused discussions on balmy summer nights
We were always searching for the truth
Every single life was precious
Every new acquaintance was a gift
And I can still hear the echo of your voice
As if I were still with you in that Kensington bedsit
[Verse 3]
But now, I sigh, time has not been kind
Where are all those friends? Tell me, why did it all have to end?
And where are they now? We lost touch, I don't know why or how
And I still think of them from time to time
If only we could press rewind
[Verse 4]
How much do you remember? How much can you recall?
Am I tucked away in some small corner of your mind?
Or do you have no memories at all?
When you look at old photographs
I can't help wonder what you see
Do you recognise the girl with flowers in her hair?
Do you recognise me?
[Verse 5]
I wonder if you're happy now, are all our old friends still there?
Are you sipping wine on long hot summers nights?
Do you still have flowers in your hair?
Well you will never lose me, you will always be my girl
Even though you're locked in another lifetime
So far away now in another world
[Outro]
I wish that I could be there, to smell those flowers in your hair
I hope you know I'll always be here, I'm not going anywhere
