Remember when the nights had no end
The moon was made for us to keep
The winter came the cold the rain
And we did nor complain
We had our empty streets
And that's why

I wish I could build a world for you
I wish I could build a world for you
And give your everything your heart desires
As everyone you know will tell you
Tell you

Before the days could get away
We trapped them in our sleep
So they could never leave
The years were scared,
Never dared lay a hand on us
Time was our to heave

Remember when the nights had no end
And life was all we had to eat
We stole the clocks and hid them all
Behind a crooked lock
And kept out empty streets
And that's why

I wish I could build a world for you
I wish I could build a world for you
And give your everything your heart desires
As everyone you know will tell you
Tell you

I wish I could build a world for you
I wish I could build a world for you
