Oh this time last year A friend of mine was still alive Now it's twelve months later And we've both been buried for quite some time Oh this time last year Who'd ever dream I'd write this song Ain't it kinda sad how time moves you along Some people say looking back Can do nothing but drag you down That when you climb the hills of life You should never let yourself turn around Others like to live in yesterday's dawn And let old memories keep them warm Yeah this time last year Someone was up someone else was down And if you look today Both their lives have flipped around Oh this time last year So many memories were born But today my blood drips from their thorns Yeah today my blood drips from their thorns Ooh yeah Ooh yeah-eah-eah
