about

This song is about the sudden death of a high school friend at the age of 21. It came to me in a flash, I wrote the piece in about 10 minutes, 20 years after the tragic event.

lyrics

Lost Years (Robinson c. 2004)

That fence was taller than both of us
We scrambled over tumblin'
May June afternoon family tears
Over all the lost years; over all the lost years

I'm thnkin' now
What might have been said
And what was going on in your beautiful head
Before all the lost years; before all the lost years

Magnificent sky, dark trees and blue eyes
Oh you found your end, leaving me to pretend
Only you and I know the moon is sad
Only you and I know what kind of fun we had

Before all the lost years; before all the lost years

Sailor sail away, oh sailor sail away
To a distant shore
To a better day
Sail away, sail away, sail away

It's a 12 hour bus ride out of here
I am California bound
Finally getting out, finally skipping town
After all of the years; after all of the years

Magnificent sky, dark trees and blue eyes
Old photographs mingled memories
Oh you missed a few things, like grown' old
The moon's the same and the stories they told

About all the lost year; about all the lost year

Sailor sail away, sailor sail away
To a distant shore to a better day
Oh Sailor sail away, oh sailor sail away
To a distant shore to a better day

Sail away, sail away, sail away
