When I was six years old, I broke my leg

And tast ed the sweet per fume of the moun tain grass I (A)rolled down.
I was young er then.
Take me back to when

found my heart and broke it here, made friends and lost them through the years.
And I’ve not seen the roar ing fields in so long, I know I’ve grown,
but I can’t wait to go home.
