lyrics

When the winter grass is blowing
All around my wandering feet,
I like to think that you are wandering too.
Gentle as you are now,
When you were nineteen:
That’s the ghost when walking, I have seen.

When the winter frost is melting
As I walk between the trees,
You are the ghost that keeps me company.
Gentle as you are now,
When you were nineteen:
That’s when I was King, and you were Queen.

You were bold and full of daring,
You were crazy about love.
You walked the ways that no one seemed to go.
You could find your way in darkness,
You could vanish in the trees.
You would come to class with mud all down your jeans.

Now, you say you can’t remember all the times that I recall,
But you say those were the best days of your life.
When we walked beneath the heavens
When we were nineteen,
That’s when I was King, and you were Queen.
