We were always on the run

From that old witch up the street

In the days when I was young



Ride

Ride our bikes on into town

The summer sun shining

A light was always shining on me

On my very first kiss

And it seems so long since I left it all behind

In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind



I still look back

The summer sun shining

A light was
