1864

We were so young and poor

We gave our troubles to the sky

We fell into the sea

We fell under the trees

We fell in love to pass the time

and oh,

the stars were everywhere

and oh,

the sunset on your hair

(2x) C#m, B, E


1865

The wind is in your eyes

The earth is shaking under you

and it's so very clear

that there's nobody here

who knows me better than you do

and oh,

my pockets full of thread

and oh,

the animals they fled

and oh,

your footprints by the stream

and oh,

a fire in your dream
