Walking Distance

Can you still get there from here Can you return to those years Can we still get there from here Seems it's only walking distance Remember we walked through the woods Into the open fields, the Elysian Fields Wish that nothing had been changed Youth untouched, innocence the same Many lifetimes ago, in spring hope was eternal and the grass did grow There was so much we did not know, many lifetimes ago And we remember our old friends And we want to go back again Allotment of threescore and ten How much time's been spent Many lifetimes ago, when the air was thick The summer bright with hope No such thing as growing old, many lifetimes ago The progress of the seasons seemed so slow, that time stood still But every year the leaves turned gold We watched October come and go Many lifetimes ago, when the leaves did fall upon a country road We began to see our dreams unfold many lifetimes ago All our yesterdays have come and gone We've seen the darkness, we've seen the dawn It seems that now you just cannot go home After you've been gone so long Many lifetimes ago, now the ground is frozen And it's covered with snow There's still so much that we don't know How much lifetime to go Can you still get there from here Can you return to those years Can we still get there from here Seems it's only walking distance
