Story Behind The Song

A story about looking back at childhood and the innocence of the child's world, which sometimes collides with that of the adults'

Song Description

Expressing the world of the child, the freedom and joy experienced in the safety of the Welsh countryside in the 1970s', the song expresses the poignant realisation that the precious esssence of those experiences will never be felt again, and that as an adult mistakes are made.

Lyrics

WHEN WE RAN FAST

When we ran fast as little children
Made wooden rafts to ride down rivers
Laughed, so much to embark on
Days like these seemed endless
I keep them safe.

I make big mistakes as I get older
I look behind and see the fires burning bright
From here I can see us there,
and I wish I could return, that something's never were...

Time is getting on
I should be much stronger after all that's been

And when we found that on the hilltop
All sights and sounds seemed so distant
And the stone we claimed as our own...

And on that night, I felt you weren't going to live
My world was dying and I really don't forgive.
I loved you both so much.

We felt so proud when we built bridges
On little streams and ran home just to say what we had done.
Passing through the shining sun.
