A song on the radio   Makes you shiver   And want to curl into a ball   Makes you want to be   Seventeen   And forget the future’s shrinking   Life was so open then    Now it’s closing in   Life was wide open then   Now it’s closing in   One by one    We’ve watched our dreams   Disappearing    Two girls against the world   Summer nights warm and long   Sleeping all day   So many songs   The shadow cast by long ago   Puts a lump within your throat   A girl whose favourite thing is snow   Snow and being alone   The ocean between us can’t    Take away the past    The ocean between us won’t    Take away the past   There’s a place all we shared   Shines unimpaired   Time flies   Swift as an arrow   The dagger of never trodden paths   Photographs they break my heart   Ambushed by the thought-”I don’t recognize her”   I miss you! I miss her!   Life was so open then    Now it’s closing in   Life was wide open then   Now it’s closing in   One by one    We’ve watched our dreams   Disappearing    But the ocean between us can’t    Take away the past   The ocean between us won’t   Take away the past   There’s a place all we shared   Shines unimpaired
