In the spring we wait, well dreams we make There's a place we once knew Something old, something true To just spend our day going back that way Now the days go so fast Give me time, give me time And I know it's been so long Since we were children of the sun So we'll go home Hmm, lay our heads down on the green Like when we were young Hmm, see the world up from the trees Like when we were young Memories, memories Oh, I love to find that old place And I feel the afternoon blow Something warm, something slow But our minds got small when our legs grew tall And our eyes don't see right Give me soul, give me sight And I know it's been so long Since we were children of the sun So we'll go home Hmm, lay our heads down on the green Like when we were young Hmm, see the world up from the trees Like when we were young Memories, memories On the green, on the green On the green, on the green
