lyrics

I thought of you in colour
Until you disappeared
I held you on in my memory for years
Now when old roads take me from
The darkest of the woods
I stand upon the places where we stood

Young and green, young and green
Young and green, Young and green

Young and green but we were there
Running with the pack
Good times, warm wind at our backs
Now when old roads take me down
Leaf lined avenues
I wonder what became of you

Young and green, young and green
Young and green, Young and green

Young and green, young and green
Young and green, Young and green

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
It's just the way that younger people grow
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
It's still worth wondering

Now a scratchy record
We bought while out one day
Brings it flooding back to me when it plays
Time has lost that innocence
I treasure thinking through
I wonder what became of you

Young and green, young and green
Young and green, Young and green

Young and green, young and green
Young and green, young and green
