Lyrics

GONE WITH THE WIND by Alan Fennah

VERSE 1
Summer days of care-free ways
Stingray cap guns and daisy-chains
Friends dive-bombing at the seaside pool
A train ride home - late in the afternoon

VERSE 2
A music box that floats on the breeze
Footsteps running for a cool brain-freeze
A simple choice, A pure delight
'Greensleeves' playing as the van slips out of sight – A fading tune
Gone! with the wind like our youth too soon

INTRO
Gone with the wind

VERSE 3
Sticklebacks in old jam jars
Black Jacks, Bazooka Joe and Matchbox cars
Long nights fishing ‘neath the crescent moon
A bike ride home through the early morning dew
Gone! With the wind like our youth too soon

INTRO
Gone with the wind

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

VERSE 4
A strawberry blonde made my heart race
Every time I saw her face
A schoolyard crush, A fallen bloom
Gone! With the wind like our youth too soon

OUTRO
Gone Gone Gone, Gone with the wind
Gone Gone Gone, Gone with the wind
Gone Gone Gone, Gone with the wind
