Glenn Bidmead - The Best of Times Lyrics

Keep it close to your heart she said in a whisper
Lost in her eyes he smiled then he kissed her
With a ring on his finger and a chill in the air
He turned and walked away and left her standing there

By a streetlamp in the midnight he can still see her shadow
As he walks along the waterfront in violet and indigo
With the cold and the dark and the lights on the water
He was from the wrong side she a Fishermans daughter

These days are the best of times
These are the days you will never forget
These they say are the best of times
These are the days of your life

They put out to sea, they put out to sea
Adrift on the ocean, floating away
They put out to sea

The dream fades away, the dream fades away
Like dust in the light, its there and its gone
And the dream fades away

Callico and candlewick night bible black
Blind as the captain and deep as the sea
Watching through the fish eye see them twisting and bending
The waves are relentless the waves are relentless

And he stretches for the fingers of the hands that are reaching
The same hands that once encircled his heart
And he knew in a moment they were destined to remain
Adrift on the tide and never torn apart

As I dive into the water I feel my spirit breathing
But underneath the surface the view is deceiving
But how could she have known and how could he for-see
These things that would entwine them and never set them free

These days are the best of times
These are the days you will never forget
These they say are the best of times
These are the days of your life

These days are the best of times
These are the days you will never forget
These they say are the best of times
These are the days of your life
