The Best Years of Our Lives

Lyrics

[Verse 1] These are the best years of our lives — sweet and peaceful The best years of our lives — enchanted and fey Like the seeds we're sown Like the seeds trampled — After the gardener did what he's paid to do Now it is finally time [Verse 2] These are the best years of our lives — it's all that matters The best years of our lives — fragile and clean Like a child, we're blessed Like a child — spaced out And may Lord have mercy on those, who invoke our displeasure In these best years of our lives [Bridge] And I'm coming from a different world And I really don't know how it's done here And I would honestly ask you to help me, babe To work with me, trust in me And cover my ass — and then I'll look away [Verse 3] These are the best years of our lives — And our captain's locked up And his choir of angels waits for this city to fall Before this sky, and them bells ringing I say — I know how you feel, God, I know how you feel If we knew our way out, we'd never be stuck here at all — These are the best years of our lives [Outro] These are the best years of our lives These are the best years of our lives These are the best years of our lives These are the best years of our lives These are the best years of our lives
