Good Years

[Verse 1]
Oh, they were the golden days, they were our best
The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
The leaves were fallin' down, the birds all flew the nest

[Refrain]
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had

[Verse 2]
Well, maybe we weren't meant to last a lifetime
Maybe you were only ever passin' by
It's hard to think about you now in a new light
So I'll watch you fade into the black

[Refrain]
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had

[Chorus]
Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years

[Verse 3]
But now the tapestry is splitting at the seams
And I watch the river take it to the sea
And all our colours slowly runnin' down my cheeks
We were golden, now we're fadin' into black

[Refrain]
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had

[Chorus]
Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years

[Bridge]
Does it break your heart like mine?
Does it take you back in time?
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I knew
And I miss you
Does it break your heart like mine?
Does it take you back in time?
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I knew
And I miss you

[Chorus]
Give me some time to wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years

[Outro]
Oh, they were the golden days, they were our best
The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
