"These Are Our Finest Days" lyrics - COLIN HAY

Oh, I can't say that I'm the only one
Who's been the lonely one
This could not be further from the truth
I want to run into the burning sun
And I'm not the only one
Stare up at the sky and think of you

I want to drive as fast as I can
Into some open land
Bay up at the moon, make love with you
I wanna stay alive 'cause this life's all I know
It's never dull or slow
If I had the chance, I'd do it all again

You must believe me, believe me when I say
These are our finest days
I want to hold you as tight as I can
I want to see your face

Oh, I can't say this is the only way
There's always the lonely way
This is not the likes of me or you
Don't wanna stay, stay in the same old place
Wearing the same old face
Growing old and tired before my time

'Cause I want to see you, take you by the hand
And drive to our favorite place
I want to hold you as tight as I can
I want to see your face

You must believe me
These are our finest days
You must believe me
These are our finest days
You must believe me, believe me when I say
These are our finest days

'Cause I want to see you, take you by the hand
And drive to our favorite place
I want to hold you as tight as I can
I want to see your face
