The days in summer and the wool buyers comin'

Packs piled way up high

We climbed up and held our hands out tryin' to touch the sky

How we didn't, I don't know why

You were six and I was seven

A year could be so much

You were always so mature, you always knew so much

I was gold, you were the Midas touch

Now, year on year and mile on mile I'm tryin' to catch up

But you always knew too much

I was gold, you were the Midas touch

La lalala la lala la

Na nanana na

La lalala la lala la lala la la la

Hmm

You were ten and I was eleven

Our worlds were just the same

The miles we walked between our homes are written in my brain

Close my eyes, I'm there again

You could play and I liked singin'

The boy could write a song

We fight for hours but always together, how did we ever get along?

Cause I was always right, and you were never wrong

Now, year on year and mile on mile I'm tryin' to catch up

But you always knew too much

I was gold, you were the Midas touch

La lalala la lala la

Na nanana na

La lalala la lala la nana na na na

Hmm

You were nineteen, I was twenty when our feet began to drift

You went one way and I went another when the world began to split

Either side of an island rift

Across the seas, across the ocean, across the great divide

Feel the pull of an old emotion somewhere deep inside

Some things are hard to find

Now, year on year and mile on mile I'm tryin' to wake up

Maybe now I know enough

I was gold, you were the Midas touch
