Norway - 35 years ago
Rewind the tape
A place where wild flowers grow
The city by the sea
It was beautiful when we left
The autumn leaves
Brothers Lionheart
Forever young
Thinking back
On the lives we used to live
Count our blessings
Carry our children
The Stations of the Cross
The growing pains
Those old records
Spinning over and over and over
Over and over
The wind under the door
The frozen bones
The baths of Saint Catherine
The candle is burning
Faded photographs
The instant lights
The old house on the shore
Forever haunted
Thinking back
On the lives we used to live
Count our blessings
Carry our children
The Stations of the Cross
The growing pains
Those old records
Spinning over and over and over
Over and over
