Scott James - The Day Was Ours Lyrics

We are always young and we pay the price
Days are spun by way of the dice
We stole out and just kept on running
The way only kids do, you don't think twice
Found a piece of land like some pioneers
Claimed it as our own for the new frontier
Lay our bodies hidden without space nor time
And watched the slow figure of a black roe deer
Your tender heart, your body bare
The golden hour caught a wisp of your hair
Didn't say a word, didn't even care
When the last light of day disappeared in the air
And though we can never go back there again
I hope you'll always remember when
The day was ours
How careful I was when I walked away
I just couldn't bear to gaze upon your face
The dark night cast its shadow ahead
This life moves too fast to make mistakes
Songbirds started like a ghost at dusk
The roadside trucks they were all closing up
Our journey ended before it began
When the sun came up we were all out of luck
And your tender heart, your body bare
The golden hour caught a wisp of your hair
Didn't say a word, didn't even care
When the last light of day disappeared in the air
And though we can never go back there again
I hope you'll always remember when
The day was ours
