"School Days"

School days school days
Misspent dreams of youth
Bitter sting of alcohol
Without your sweet vermouth
School days school days
Lord it's been so long
I can just remember them
Like an old favorite song

So we come to this place once again
I've had more fun but I don't know when
You know we hated each other back then
But now we meet as friends

School days school days
Smell of new mown grass
Life of possibility
Reflected in the glass
School days school days
Square dance in the gym
He was so in love with her
She won't remember him

So they come to this place once again
They've had more fun but they don't know when
Memory disappearing and then
Now they meet as friends

School days school days
Lessons I once learned
Somehow forgotten
Watching bridges burn
School days school days
As the picture fades
I can close my eyes and see
My shadow on the shades

So we come to this place once again
I've had more fun but I don't know when
Different now than we were back then
But now we meet as friends
