I can remember the words that you say,
Seems like forever or was it today
The cold light of dawn broke in two,
The one part of me that was you?
'Cause you're the one that went and stole a piece of my heart

High on our hillside we both shared the view
Talking of people we thought we knew,
How could that dream fade away
And fall on the ground where we lay?

'Cause you're the one that went and stole a piece of my heart

Oh well,
You must be
Twenty three by now,
Married
With kids of your own
And the little boy
Is three:
Does he look like me?
It's a long way from freedom,
It's a long way from home

I can remember the words that you say,
Seemed like forever was taken away,
When time made its own point of view
On the promise two young people knew

'Cause you're the one that went and stole a piece of my heart
