modern times

al stewart

hello old friend

what a strange coincidence to find you

it's been fifteen years since we last met

but i still recognised you

so call the barman over here

and let us fill our glasses

and drink a toast to olden times where all our memories lie

where all our memories lie

do you remember the time we were young?

lowly

lowly

low

outside the window the frosty moonlight hung

on the midnight snow

so we pulled our scarves around our faces in the night

huddled on the doorsteps where the fairylights shone bright

singing christmas carols while our breath hung in the light

it all comes back like yesterday

it almost seems like yesterday

do you remember the changes as we grew?

slowly

slowly

slow

sneaking in the back way into movies after school

for the evening show

chasing skinny blue jean girls across the building-site

checking out the dance floor while the band played hold me tight"
