Oh Such Nights!

from New York l​.​p. by Champion Leader

/

lyrics

When I was young and strong
the birds sang my song
I wrote it
I know it
where have all those birds gone

When I was younger
when I was bolder
I wouldn't hesitate to punch his face
and take your place as the first in line

Oh such nights
Oh such days
Under the forest eaves we kissed
as if we'd never grow older

Do you remember?

Follow the sun
Don't wait for it to come back again
when the darkness sets, it really sets,
and then what do you have left?

You sit in this house
from August to June
And the sparrow will come too soon
to carry the spring back into Winter

I felt the heat
I felt the flash
I felt the shock
I tasted ash
I felt the breath
of the angel of death
he whispered into my ear,
"Come on James, is that your best last line?"

When I was young and strong
the birds sang my song
I wrote it
I know it
so where have all those birds gone

When I was younger
when I was bolder
I wouldn't hesitate to kiss your face
and take my place as the first in line
