Boys 'n' Girls

Boys ‘n’ girls
Blasting love
Nevermind if
They shoot you down
The love that once
Was by our side
Faded black
And cast aside

Eleven years
Set us apart
Eleven days
Back to the start
We were lost and found
We’re back in place
And then again
We fall in love

Fast fading twilight opened skies
And the skies are opened to your dreams
Sun sunning in right from your eyes
All the crimson joy of new found love
Queen of the rosebud garden girls
All in gloss of satin and glimmer pearls
The sons and the daughters, boys and girls
They’re falling in love, they’re falling in love
And we’re drowning love
We’re drowning in this feeling
I was lost until you found me
I was messing with myself, then you found me

Boys ‘n’ girls
Across the hall
They congregate
They break the walls
They strove to seize
The inmost flame
Translucent love
One and the same
For they are young
And unmistaken
A milestone
A prize not taken
Am I in love?
Is this a dream?
Or just the sound of another day

Carry, carry on, people carry on
‘Cos I care about you ‘n’ you care ‘bout me
Times square campfire teenage spree
Just a fleeting flare of later spring
Queen of the rosebud garden girls
All in gloss of satin and glimmer pearls
The sons and the daughters, boys and girls
They’re falling in love, they’re falling in love
And we’re drowning love
We’re drowning in this feeling
I was lost until you found me
I was messing with myself, then you found me

Boys ‘n’ girls
Of troubled times
Your passion’s bold
Your timing’s right
You live through this
You cut through here
You capture time
With trendy hearts
It’s summertime
In crimson lake
Bohemian nights
And beatnik days
Eternal life of brevity
A second of eternity

Boys ‘n’ girls,
Heart ‘n’ soul
Heaven ‘n’ hell
Rock ‘n’ roll
You fell in love
A righteous love
It’s time to ring them bells
