Ooberman - First Day of the Holidays lyrics

When I awoke I was ten again And the heat rose in the fields again And the sun rose in the haze again And it was just the way it used to be And you were alive again When we ran through the woods again There was sunlight on the stream again Just like the first day of the holidays We made a swing, made it and laughed again 'til mum called us in, in from the fields again She was so proud, proud of her boys again And it was just the way it used to be But as the years go by All the strings we tied and connected us to home Pull us back like elastic bands, only everything is gone There she was By the lake again The first girl I ever loved again Her cold lips and hands had changed Thought it was just the way it used to be As the years go by All the strings we tied that connected us to home Pull us back like elastic bands, only everything is gone
