Living In The Past,Jethro Tull

Happy, and I'm smiling, walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I'd love to love you, and above you there's no other
We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster.
Oh, be forgiving, let's go living in the past.

Once I'd used to join in every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution but they don't know what they're fighting.
Let us close our eyes. Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, be forgiving, we'll keep living in the past.

Oh, be forgiving, let's go living in the past.
Oh, no, no, be forgiving, let's go living in the past.

Jethro Tull - Living In The Past 1969

no~we walk out of the past, memories fading, it is a blessing to be able to forget what is not needed anymore.
it is a pre-condition for sleep , for death, for life , for love and for the rising of the phoenix,...
