Lyrics

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
