When I Was Young

I had a lot to say when I was young
The urgency of fire, the gift to speak in tongues
All the passion of my soul in every word as it was sung
I had a lot to say when I was young

I remember when you came into my heart
Our love was like the sky at night, secrets now unlocked
We danced and twirled as galaxies no ending and no start
I remember when you came into my heart

We're travelers through time
A few stops 'long the way
With the lonesomeness that only travelers know
But we'll share a cup of kindness
Taste the tenderness of May
Keep vigil through the night before we go

Now colors overtake these ancient hills
It's the middle of October and the wind begins to chill
Tonight I'll make a fire, let my thoughts drift where they will
As colors overtake these ancient hills
