We Were Barely Seventeen
Drinking cheap white wine
Laying eyes through weeks all of the time
I can still remember that mildew smell
Sitting up all night, we had so much to tell
The place is always empty now
The place is always empty now
Give me shelter from the cold
Closing in on me
I have done as I was told
Didn't make me free
Read me back those clever lines
That weren't to save mankind
Read me back those clever lines

Do you still live up to them
Or did you change your mind
We made some promises
We couldn't keep
Tried to run up to hell
That was to see
Pretty blue eyes
Pretty blue eyes
You may not care
You may not know me anymore
But we sure had our share
Learned my lesson anyhow
Learned my lesson anyhow
Give me shelter from the cold
Closing in on me
I can still remember that mildew smell
Laying eyes through weeks all of the time
I can still remember that mildew smell
Sitting up all night, we had so much to tell
Thank you.
Bye.
