The days we were free hold on strongly in my mind
They're a loss to me now and they have been for some time
In my memory I will always see your smile
As we walked hand in hand those country miles

And when you move like that
Its almost like you're dancing on a new road
And there's no one else around who you know

And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young and the free

When the only street lights in the dark nights were the stars
And the village hall danced to the pipes and the guitars
Girls with paint and powder couldn't be prouder of their styles
And their lipstick served to hide their drunken smiles

And when you move like that
Its almost like you're dancing on a new road
And there's no one else around who you know

And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young and the free

Living in the city rife with pitty and regret
And I stand on this road like a man who's lost his way
There's a land of plenty past this barron emptyness outside
But it's lost as dreams for another day

And when you move like that
Its almost like you're dancing on a new road
And there's no one else around who you know

And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young

And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young

And we would dance all night in the rain
From the mountain side to the sea
And we would run out of sight in a room full of light
In the days of the young and the free
