Lyrics

When I was a boy
Over the hills and far away, I played
Away from the bustle of the northern town
Where the gra** was green
The sky was blue and the air was clean
Away from the smoke of the factories
When I was a boy

All day long, I played
Running on the moors with my mate Dave
We could be pirates on the sea
Or we would be superheroes
With lives to save
We could be anything we wanted to be
When I was a boy

Wеll, summer time was endlеss
The days would roll on by
And nothing would come between us
My friend and I
When I was a boy
I was taken away from that northern town
Taken from my friends and my families
To a world of sleepless nights
And wondering what I'd done wrong
And why was this happenning to me?
When I was a boy
When I was a boy

Now, maybe years have pa**ed
Since I was in that northern town
And everything is different nowadays
No more factories
They were the heartbeat of that town
And the moors’ carved up with motorways
When I was a boy

But I will still remember
The way it used to be
But living in that northern town
Is my best memory
