[ Featuring
the Lost Boys ]
Oh the day was young
And the bright morning sun
Drove away the cold night
For three little boys who just loved to fight
The wet grass soaked our shoes
So much good time to lose
On the east side of mainstreet
Where me and the gang used to meet
We believed so hard it almost hurt
And it all came alive by mama's word
At night I pulled the blankets over me
Cause I was frightened by eternity
But as the trees stopped to grow
And the red orange glow
Set their branches on fire
As our time did expire
With the leaving days sun
We were all gone
When the priest rang his roaring bell
A new Sunday came and gave us hell
We all stayed well-hidden and mama cried
So the old man's gun was never fired
In my life I had not known before
There could be so much love in war
After each battle, that we lost or won
It grew a lot bigger as we kept going on and on
But as the trees stopped to grow
And the red orange glow
Set their branches on fire
As our time did expire
With the leaving days sun
We were all gone
But as the trees stopped to grow
And the red orange glow
Set their branches on fire
As our time did expire
With the leaving days sun
We were all gone
