Simple Minds

There was a time we'd go down to Broken Glass Park
We'd settle down 'til night fades into dark
Do you remember me?
Was the last day of the last great century
We were so young in my memory

In Broken Glass Park, we'd hide from the sun
We'd stay out all night 'til the moment would come
Discover ourselves, stay there for days
We'd turn out the lights, learn "Purple Haze"
In Broken Glass Park escape from the sun
We'd stay out all night 'til the moment would come

But I'm still wondering, do you remember me?

There was a time we'd go down to Broken Glass Park
We'd settle down and pretty soon we'd start
With our fantasies
Was the last day of the last great century
We were so young in my memory

In Broken Glass Park, we'd hide from the sun
We'd stay out all night 'til the moment would come
Discover ourselves, stay there for days
Tune in to ourselves, learn "Purple Haze"
In Broken Glass Park, we'd hide from the sun
Stay out all night 'til the moment would come
Still frozen in time, still frozen in space
In Broken Glass Park

One day longer
The sense gets stronger
I know it will be
This is our destiny

In Broken Glass Park, we'd hide from the sun
Stay out all night 'til the moment would come
Discover ourselves, stay there for days
In Broken Glass Park, so many ways
Still frozen in time, still frozen in space
We'd lock out the light and learn "Purple Haze"
Still frozen in time, still frozen in space
In Broken Glass Park

We had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, fun
