Lyrics
Verse 1:
When I was young I couldn't see
Shadows hanging over me
There were no blinders in my way
Making friends most every day
Chorus:
Walkin' down an old lazy river
Watching suns set and moons by the bay
Breakin' down all the language of the city
Walkin' down, every day's a brighter day
Verse 2:
I'm not young any more
But that can't change the way I feel
Growing up is awfully hard to do
You never know what's really real
Chorus
Bridge:
Instrumental
Repeat Verse 2
Chorus
Fade out
