The Day Was Ours Lyrics

We are always young and we pay the price

Days are spun by way of the dice

We stole out and just kept on running

The way only kids do, you don't think twice

Found a piece of land like some pioneers

Claimed it as our own for the new frontier

Lay our bodies hidden without space nor time

And watched the slow figure of a black roe deer

Your tender heart, your body bare

The golden hour caught a wisp of your hair

Didn't say a word, didn't even care

When the last light of day disappeared in the air

And though we can never go back there again

I hope you'll always remember when

The day was ours

How careful I was when I walked away

I just couldn't bare to gaze upon your face

The dark night cast its shadow ahead

This life moves too fast to make mistakes

Songbirds started like a ghost at dusk

The roadside trucks they were all closing up

Our journey ended before it began

When the sun came up we were all out of luck

And your tender heart, your body bare

The golden hour caught a wisp of your hair

Didn't say a word, didn't even care

When the last light of day disappeared in the air

And though we can never go back there again

I hope you'll always remember when

The day was ours
