Jade - Alan's Song

When, when we were young
We used to climb up in the orange tree
You would look around
And tell me all that you could see

You'd be tall and strong, you’d bang your drum
And tell me how you'd go to war
And all around, the sound of laughter

When, when we were young
We used to climb up in the orange tree
You would look around
And tell me all that you could see

And now the garden, it seems so small compared to yesterday
The years have flown, our dreams have gone
And the oranges, they are still growing

When, when we were young
We used to climb up in the orange tree
You would look around
And tell me all that you could see

You'd be tall and strong, you’d bang your drum
And tell me how you'd go to war
And all around, the sound of laughter
And me, I'd have a house
Whose shadow fell tumbling cross the water
And all around would be the sound
Of falling leaves and laughter

When, when we were young
