When we were young
When we were free
When we had fun
When we went to the beach
You played your guitar
As you sang your song
I danced along
The sand was soft
In our frenzy
We made love
Oblivious to world around us
We were young so innocent young
We had dreams to make real
Yet the real world at stake
If we would make them come true
What would we do
What would they change
Me and you?
We were young so innocent young
Don't drift away my love
I need you here tomorrow
I know you have no time to borrow
But wait wait
It's the season for love
Where are the cocotrees
Where is the palmwine
All gone and past
Never again to find
The past is a shadow
The future is void
Yet I sit and retrospect
Abandon the pain
The pain of my road
Let yesterday become my shadow
It's not yet tomorrow
Tomorrow is void
I heard shooting
And ran to my Balkony
Why are these men
Causing such agony
No such thing as reason
No season for war
Brothers fight Brothers
Fathers fight Fathers
What is it that haunts you
Put your weapons aside
The infant is left crying alone
The parents are gone
Shot dead in the process of war
Oh Brothers and Fathers
Think of your children
The generations to come
I know your heart beats
The same place as mine
No such thing as a reason for war
No season in sight
Don't drift away my love
I need you here tomorrow
I know you have no time to borrow
But wait wait
It's the season for love
As I lay in bed
In human nakedness
I feel a shadow above me
I wake and see
There's a strange man bending over me
I collect all my power
I push him away
Down the stairs
Out the door
Shut door
Turn key
What the hell happend to me
I check on my kids
They're fine
Fast asleep
I sit down and weep
The past is my shadow
The future is void
It's the moment that counts
The moment of life
Don't drift away my love
I need you here tomorrow
I know you have no time to borrow
But wait wait
It's the season for love
I packed all my things
Away away to the USA
The reason was valid
The season was right
Stepping in to tomorrow's void
125th Street Harlem
New York City
I walked with a friend
People calling me Patty
I did not know why
I asked my friend to clarify
The era of Patricia Hearst
When I met Death he just came along
He knocked at my door
Did not want to let him in
He pushed me aside
And did what he had to
Nothing I could do
For all there is reason
For all a season
My tomorrow is void
Grandma said why did he do that
He should have took me instead
I'm old and must go
Instead he takes the young
She shook her head
As sadness came
For all there is reason
For all a season
Don't drift away my love
I need you here tomorrow
I know you have no time to borrow
But wait wait
It's the season for love
I once met a liar
Said he'd publish my poetry
But I saw through his lies
He offerd me drugs
Said that was the pay
I said no way
You'll need money to pay
Put him in observatory
This ferocious man
He was full of treason
He just wanted to lay me
Disgust in my eye
He had no reason
All wrong was the season
Death knocked on my door
About a dozen times
Each time I felt pain in my heart
A pain that stays to remind
But each of the souls
That have gone to part
Lay in my shadow behind
The bodies are gone
Yet their souls remain
In my shadow of yesterday
My tomorrow a void
Don't drift away my love
I need you here tomorrow
I know you have no time to borrow
But wait wait
It's the season for love
I couldn't move
Lest open my eyes
The hands where strangling
My neck so tight
I thought that Death was now upon me
Yet someone shouted
And I became free
There was no reason
The season all wrong
Yet now I am strong
Stronger than ever
I would have thought
I would not grow better
I carry my heart
My soul holds me tight
Yesterday is my shadow
Today is my light
Tomorrow is void
Don't drift away my love
I need you here tomorrow
I know you have no time to borrow
But wait wait
It's the season for love
