She was my age and moved to england and became a nurse

Moving far away with her older sister on November first

And her mother didn't want her to go

But she stood her ground 'til she couldn't say no

Only my age she moved to England and became a nurse

How times have changed

She tells me the good old days go far too quickly

And although she talks with pride

I see the sadness in her eyes

And it all comes in bits and pieces

All the people that she misses

I forget you see

That she was young like me

She had fun like me

She has family that are gone now

And I guess that it just hit me

That even when it's full of love

The past is hard to carry

He was my age and he was young and he was free

It's hard to believe that my grandad was once eighteen

And he worked hard needless to say

He had to travel far and there were bills to pay

But he was my age with lots to learn and lots to say

How times have changed

He tells me the good old days go far too quickly

And although he's often quiet

There's a story in the silence

Like how he got light from candles

Walked to school no socks no sandals

I forgot you see

That he was young like me

He had fun like me

He has history that is gone now

And I guess that it just hit me

That even when they're full of love

Memories are heavy

Memories are heavy

Memories are sharp

They live inside our photos

They live inside our hearts

They wander 'round the town and all the places that we go

They live in different sounds and the faces that we know

I hope that when I've listened

To all the tales they've told

I've helped to carry

Some of the load
