Ice Cream Days

Down to the village shop
The wind is high, it's rushing through the trees
We kicked a puddle and scuffed our shoes
A shilling in each pocket for liquorice and juice
Down from the high hill top
Sliding down the banks, we tumbled as we flew
Swam in the streams and made clay pots
Bought our clothes from jumble sales
We wouldn't buy anything new
Oh, that would never do
Tanya, I never had a friend like you
We shared everything
We talked and laughed and grew
Tanya, I never had a friend like you
We took on everyone and no one could stop us doing what we wanted to
Girl, I miss you
Yesterday I called you up
I wanted to know, did you remember me?
But your love has gone, someone has cut you down
Now you're trying to find your way to safer ground
Go now before you drown
Remember the ice cream days
Whistle to the wind and blow away the night
With a penny in your pocket, you could go to the store
Give your smile to the lady and see everything she's got
The sky's the limit when you break the lock
Tanya, I never had a friend like you
You've got your whole lifetime
We shared everything
We talked and laughed and grew
You've got your whole life, whole life
Tanya, I never had a friend like you
You've got your whole lifetime
We took on everyone and no one could stop us doing what we wanted to
You could find your silver waves
Girl, I miss you
Put on your silver wings
Whistle to the wind
And bring your roller-skates too
Ah, you can find your silver waves
Ah, you can find your silver waves
Ah, you can find your silver waves
