A cool breeze through the summer heat
On my way home through the lazy streets
A fine day just to get away
From all them old ghosts and their poisoning words
I'll take a long nap lying on your lap
I'll take a one way ride through your silver skies
And when it's all done I will ask for some
Of your sweet love cause I'm getting old
Whatever happened to the life we knew
Whatever happened to the planes we flew
What happened to the dreams we used to have
What happened to the words we used to say
Whatever happened to the life we planned
What happened to the girl that drove me mad
It's hard to get along when there's nothing going on
A long time riding on the edge of this
Wild cliff I could use some rest
I could be something if you trust in me
I could be way off far across the sea
I'll take a deep dive down the bottom of your mind
I think I might find something worth the while
Just give me one more chance I will take you to the dance
Just give me one more day I will make it ok
Whatever happened to the life we knew
Whatever happened to the planes we flew
What happened to the dreams we used to have
What happened to the words we used to say
Whatever happened to the life we planned
What happened to the girl that drove me mad
It's hard to get along when there's nothing going on
