I remember you when you were only seventeen br the sun was high above us then br and all the fields were green br and dressed in grey and white br the world was at your feet br but you'd no time for fame or lights br you were myth made real br and every part of me believed br br I remember dancing in your arms at Christmas time br the local band played Maggie May; br the world was out of sight br And you were rock n' roll br Though we were still at school br And you were country, you were soul br You just played it cool br On Hogmanay beneath the moon br br br (chorus) br But now you've crossed the great divide br Your pain is gone, at such a price br And I will think of you, in grey and white, br I will think of you on autumn nights br I will think of you at Christmas time br And I'll think of when your lips touched mine br And I'll remember you at seventeen br When the sun was high br and all the fields were green br br br I remember you outside the gym when we were young br your eyes were full of sunshine, br there was passion on your tongue br I didn't have the words br to tell you how I felt br but still you took my hand, and walked br where love rose and fell br and I'll remember when we touched br br And now you've crossed the great divide br Your pain is gone, at such a price br And I will think of you, in grey and white, br I will think of you on autumn nights br I will think of you at Christmas time br And I'll think of when your lips touched mine br And I'll remember you at seventeen br When the sun was high br and all the fields were green br br 13 03 2010br br jim hoggbr br
