Gone gone childhood days
  Gone in so many ways
  All that I have said and done
  The castles we have overcome
  At last you have found a friend
  The sweetest voice will never end
  And it echoes down the mountainside
  People live and people die
  Friendly face will always be
  Wrapped up in my childhood days
    Old dogs and worn out shoes
  Even children sing the blues
  How we must endure it all
  To save God's creatures great and small
  All my world is there and then
  The voices come to me again
  And they echo down the mountainside
  People live and people die
  I still can see my Daddy's face, Oh Lord
  This is a lonely place
    Fast train , train too slow
  Maybe you got no place to go
  Let me set your spirit free
  It's crazy but you comfort me
  We share together what we found
  The force of love is all around
  And it echoes down the mountainside
  Little bit of soul we hide
  Find us lost without a trace
  Oh Lord
  This is a lonely place
    Gone gone childhood days
  Gone in so many ways
  In all my children you can see
  What old aquaintance means to me
  Drean is mine and here it stays
  All wrapped up in my childhood days
  And it echoes down the mountainside
  People live and people die
  Tho I love you for always
  I lost you in my childhood days
