[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When I was young
I thought I was king
Until this mad world
Trampled my dreams
We traded hope For life so unkind
And drowned our tears in that drunkards wine
[Chorus]
Blue is blue And black is black them good ol days
Ain t coming back so have a drink and wipe your eyes
Cause you ain t seen the worst of times
[Verse 2]
My wings of youth have lost their feathers
To winter weather from summer mourn
Wept foolish tears To your native spring
this old bird won t sing Your sorrow song
[Chorus]
Blue is blue And black is black Them good ol days
Ain t coming back So have a drink And wipe your eyes
Cause you ain t seen The worst of times
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Peaceful waters make not strong sailors
A life lived safer theres lesser tale
one needs the night, to see the north star that took us so far to foreign shores
[Chorus]
Blue is blue And black is black Them good ol days
Ain t coming back So have a drink And wipe your eyes
Cause you ain t seen The worst of times
