Time Was Lyrics

When we still had time to wander, when our days were filled with plunder

Little did we know, way back when, what our greatest treasure had been

I guess you can't appreciate all the joys that youth can create

That's why they say that it's wasted on the young; I can still taste it

We had nothing but time back then

And energy to spare, too

Although none of us knew just when

To those times, we would say adieu

Some of us are dead, and others

Are upon our solo quests

Though I think of them as brothers

Nevermore will I have such guests

One day, you are fighting with friends against a deadly enemy

Next, you learn that everything ends; life is a pyrrhic victory

You think it will last forever, or at least you tell yourself that

You think you'll all stay together, but you won't - that's just the sad fact

We had nothing but time back then

And energy to spare, too

Although none of us knew just when

To those times, we would say adieu

Some of us are dead, and others

Are upon our solo quests

Though I think of them as brothers

Nevermore will I have such guests

I wish they were still here

But it can't be that way

Halcyon days are gone

Nostalgia is what's left

But I can't live in fear

Already left that bay

And while the journey's long

Not totally bereft

We had nothing but time back then

And energy to spare, too

Although none of us knew just when

To those times, we would say adieu

Some of us are dead, and others

Are upon our solo quests

Though I think of them as brothers

Nevermore will I have such guests

We had nothing but time back then

And energy to spare, too

Although none of us knew just when

To those times, we would say adieu

Some of us are dead, and others

Are upon our solo quests

Though I think of them as brothers

Nevermore will I have such guests
