Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were young together once
Yes, we were the lucky ones
While all around us empires
Slowly crumbled into dust
We were young together once
[Verse 2]
Our love is like a phantom limb
Fingers traced across the wind
A little shadow running
As the light begins to dim
Our love is like a phantom limb
[Chorus]
Now the night is falling fast
And the old woman weaves her shawl of black
I've given up hope for a better past
It's too late for all of that
[Verse 3]
I'm so scared for my little girl
Feels like there's nothing I can do
She's walking through a world on fire
In watermelon shoes
All daddy sees is shades of blue
[Chorus]
Now the night is falling fast
And the old woman weaves her shawl of black
I've given up hope for a better past
It's too late for all of that
But we were young together once
