[verse]
I followed PaPa down by the river flowing
He cast the net where all the fish were showing
We cooked our lunch with veggies freshly growing
The taste so warm the firelight was glowing
[verse]
I searched for crabs beneath the stones so shady
Reached in the hole got pinched it hurt so badly
I screamed out loud but still my heart was happy
Those golden days were simple sweet and lovely
[chorus]
Now I eat crab but it don’t taste the same
No firelight no river no childhood game
Those carefree days I’ll never get again
Just memories like sunshine after rain
[verse]
No worries then just laughter in the air
No heavy thoughts no weight of grownup care
Just simple joys we didn’t know were rare
That summer light still shines in memories there
[chorus]
Now I eat crab but it don’t taste the same
No firelight no river no childhood game
Those carefree days I’ll never get again
Just memories like sunshine after rain
[outro]
