1987

"1987" is a song about looking back with nostalgia on your younger days from a mature point of view.

1987

Josie was a girl I knew back at school
She would take me out I looked like a fool
Then you’d find us spinnin’ Stairway To Heaven
Way back in 1987 – Way back in 1987

When the sun went down we’d climb up that hill
We’d shout each other’s names just for a thrill
And her little sister had just turned eleven
Way back in 1987 – way back in 1987

I felt like I was on the run
To find some moments in the sun
Somehow these blues would disappear
Once we knew more about our fears

Now it’s time to turn my back on the past
But those memories are sure bound to last
When I’m lonely I just gaze into heaven
Way back in 1987 – Way back in 1987
