I dreamed it was 1962
I dropped a quarter in the Juke box
Played a song for you
Kiss you by the Pinball King
Listening to Dal Shannon sing
I had all his records
He was my favourite then

That's all gone
It won't come back again
That's all gone
It won't come back again

I'd woken up, put on my father's shoes
Stood out in the front yard like he used to do
Walked across the morning sand
Skyline on his shoulders, sign of rain
And mine would be the only footprints that remained

That's all gone
It won't come back again
That's all gone
It won't come back again

There was something I meant to say
hey, hey
But too many words got in the way
yeah, yeah

And I dreamed it was 1962
Lit a fire on the beach
Then played in the sand with you
Singing songs 'til the rain would come
Straight across the fields we'd run
You wrapped a sweater 'round my first guitar
I walked you home

That's all gone
It won't come back again
That's all gone
It won't come back again
