The Years We Shared - Runrig

You bloomed like the rose of summer

And I held you in my arms

And in that knowing I found purpose

We walked on the stars

The world changes, we get older

What comes in love must leave in pain

And all the gifts we early treasure

The world takes away

The years we shared

Will find their beating in a heart somewhere

But the traces of our greatest days

Will fade away

From the pier the ships are leaving

The seeds to saplings grow

Saplings first turn to forests

Then ships of oak

Fair winds blow through the journey

And I watch you from afar

Sailing on distant oceans

Of eternal calm

The years we shared

Will find their beating in a heart somewhere

But the traces of our greatest days

Will fade away

When it all started, it came like poetry

And a vision our truth awakened

The years we shared

Will find their beating in a heart somewhere

But the traces of our greatest days

Will fade away

The years we shared

Will find their beating in a heart somewhere

But the traces of our greatest days

Will fade away

Will fade away

Oh the years we shared
