Electric Nights

We sat and watched the dawn come up
From the hill above the town
It nearly made our heart beats stop
When the colors came all around

And as the day began to break
A skylark sang above
And the sun came warm across the land
And filled our hearts with love

Electric nights, your magic lingers on
Electric flights when our hearts and mind were young

I've never felt a love so strong
As the love I felt then
And we said that we would always try
And make it back again

But east is east and west is west
And never the twain shall meet
But oh, what wouldn't I give
To be right back there on that street

Electric nights, your magic lingers on
Electric flights, when our hearts and mind were young
Electric nights, I can feel the thrill of your electric flights
Your memory haunts me still

And when it's time to close my eyes
And lay down for my rest
The pictures that just spring to mind
Are the ones that I love best

All of us lying there looking up at the sky
Never looking for a reason never asking why
It seems as though a million years
Has passed since those old days

And though the moment that I'm in
Is just passing phase
I still can recall the presence
Of my friends right by my side

And all I gotta do just to bring them back
Is gently close my eyes

Electric nights, your magic lingers on
Electric flights when our hearts and minds were young
Electric nights, I still can feel the thrill of your electric flights
When we were up Malvern Hills
