Gan Ainm

God it feels a life ago
Every Friday playing songs around the table, in the kitchen
Reading from the old orange book
I was playing in the songs by ear, listening to you

I thought I knew it all when I was just eighteen
Leaving the suburbs wasn't all it seemed

How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?

I was just a teenager
In my bedroom trying to sound like Joni Mitchell, with this accent
Laurel Canyon on my mind
Dressed for Woodstock but Raheen is no California, gray and rainy

I thought I knew it all when I was just eighteen
Leaving the suburbs wasn't all it seemed

I thought I knew it all when I was just eighteen
Leaving the city wasn't all it seemed

How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?

How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
How do the days go by so fast?
