1st Verse:
A dark and handsome lad intrigued me
I had the warmest glow
Did he ever see me looking
I really didn't know
At 17 and 6 months
I knew my heart was set
At 18 I was still hooked
I hadn't started yet

Chorus:
I was an aching 18
Fear stood in the way of desire
Aching 18
Young heart on fire

2nd Verse:
It was a life's obsession
Just to see that smile
If I knew that he'd be somewhere
I'd have walked a hundred miles
But there was another
Almost as shy as me
A fair blue-eyed musician
But it was just too late to be

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Life could have been so different
But I could not let go
Dreamers are not the best at living
Though it seems so long ago

Repeat Chorus
