We were 18 and 19
and paired off on saturday nights
down in the basement
a big killer stereo
dimmer switch on the lights
jane was a dancer
paul was a drummer
christine was a doctor to be
life stretched before us like one endless summer
and that brings us back to me,
i was the gypsy
we sang as we stood at the gate
we were ready to take the world on
four young soldiers of fate
couldn`t wait to go right every wrong
wearing our passion, our hopes,
and our tshirts and jeans
Dancin` with dreams
ten years ago may
we all drank to the future
and all went our separate ways
i packed up to go
with my clothes and piano
and music and something to say
i hear paul owns a drum shop
jane teaches ballet
and christine`s an ob-gyn
i`m writing songs that i sing in a cafe
and sometimes i write about them,
I miss my friends.
we sang as we stood at the gate
we were ready to take the world on
four young soldiers of fate
couldn`t wait to go right every wrong
wearing our passion, our hopes,
and our tshirts and jeans
Dancin` with dreams
before reality threw up the roadblocks
and nothin` was out of our reach
time flowed smooth as a waltz,
so it seemed
we`re dancin` with dreams
we sang as we stood at the gate
we were ready to take the world on
four young soldiers of fate
couldn`t wait to go right every wrong
wearing our passion, our hopes,
and our tshirts and jeans,
