I wandered in time, till I found myself thinking Of young children playing at the dawning of spring They sang merry songs, like the wind in the willows Twas then that I found myself back home again The days that we spent in the boat with our father Too young for to help at a very young age Watching with care as they worked on the water Those memories still linger of warm summer days It was off in the evening with friends in the harbour I'd join in the game to pass time away Like angels in heaven, you'd hear sounds of laughter Tonight crept upon us, to bed one more day Then on sunday morning, we'd walk to the chapel To count up our blessings for all we received And give thanks to the lord for good health and well being In return for our fortunes and what we believe And when we'd return, we'd join in a session And enjoy all the tunes and the songs that we share Then our mothers would call us to move to the kitchen To eat at the table that she had prepared The scenes of my childhood, I'll always remember Those memories still linger and fill me with joy Those days are long gone, but they'll 'er be forgotten By friends and companions of days long gone by
