Lyrics The Years We Shared - Runrig

You bloomed like the rose of summer
And I held you in my arms
And in that knowing I found purpose
We walked on the stars

The world changes, we get older
What comes in love must leave in pain
And all the gifts we early treasure
The world takes away

The years we shared
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
But the traces of our greatest days
Will fade away

From the pier the ships are leaving
The seeds to saplings grow
Saplings first turn to forests
Then ships of oak

Fair winds blow through the journey
And I watch you from afar
Sailing on distant oceans
Of eternal calm

The years we shared ...

When it all started, it came like poetry
A vision our truth awakened
