childhood nostalgia

I played football in back gardens With people I lost a long time ago We ran about like little demons That now seem to haunt my memories And leaping up from trampolines to see Each other flying through the air But that was when we were kids And that seems such a lifetime away We laid down on the grass of our school field And laughed about what silly thing we'd done that day Rolling down a hill until the earth had stained our Shirts a nature's green but we didn't even notice The sound of our enjoyment permeates the air Like birdsong on an autumn's dawn But that was when we were kids And that seems such a lifetime away
