Jethro Tull - We Used To Know lyrics

Whenever I get to feel this way,<br>Try to find new words to say,<br>I think about the bad old days<br>We used to know.<br>Nights of winter turn me cold --<br>Fears of dying, getting old.<br>We ran the race and the race was won<br>By running slowly.<br><br>Could be soon we'll cease to sound,<br>Slowly upstairs, faster down.<br>Then to revisit stony grounds,<br>We used to know.<br><br>Remembering mornings, shillings spent,<br>Made no sense to leave the bed.<br>The bad old days they came and went<br>Giving way to fruitful years.<br><br>Saving up the birds in hand<br>While in the bush the others land.<br>Take what we can before the man<br>Says it's time to go.<br><br>Each to his own way I'll go mine.<br>Best of luck in what you find.<br>But for your own sake remember times<br>We used to know.
