[00:00.32]She was my age and moved to england and became a nurse
[00:05.18]Moving far away with her older sister on November first
[00:09.48]And her mother didn't want her to go
[00:11.98]But she stood her ground 'til she couldn't say no
[00:14.21]Only my age she moved to England and became a nurse
[00:18.23]How times have changed
[00:19.70]She tells me the good old days go far too quickly
[00:22.69]And although she talks with pride
[00:24.79]I see the sadness in her eyes
[00:26.92]And it all comes in bits and pieces
[00:29.23]All the people that she misses
[00:31.64]I forget you see
[00:32.68]That she was young like me
[00:33.83]She had fun like me
[00:34.84]She has family that are gone now
[00:39.15]And I guess that it just hit me
[00:43.49]That even when it's full of love
[00:47.72]The past is hard to carry
[00:55.18]He was my age and he was young and he was free
[00:59.74]It's hard to believe that my grandad was once eighteen
[01:03.75]And he worked hard needless to say
[01:06.24]He had to travel far and there were bills to pay
[01:08.22]But he was my age with lots to learn and lots to say
[01:12.15]How times have changed
[01:13.66]He tells me the good old days go far too quickly
[01:16.65]And although he's often quiet
[01:18.85]There's a story in the silence
[01:21.05]Like how he got light from candles
[01:23.18]Walked to school no socks no sandals
[01:25.34]I forgot you see
[01:26.48]That he was young like me
[01:27.61]He had fun like me
[01:28.69]He has history that is gone now
[01:32.95]And I guess that it just hit me
[01:37.09]That even when they're full of love
[01:41.60]Memories are heavy
[01:48.22]Memories are heavy
[01:50.36]Memories are sharp
[01:52.23]They live inside our photos
[01:54.61]They live inside our hearts
[01:56.65]They wander 'round the town and all the places that we go
[02:01.10]They live in different sounds and the faces that we know
[02:05.92]I hope that when I've listened
[02:08.11]To all the tales they've told
[02:10.93]I've helped to carry
[02:13.13]Some of the load
