Do you remember when the world was young?
Do you remember?

You look tired tonight my dear
Don’t know what to say
The evening breeze is cool
Your heart far away—
Looking for the gates of Eden
What could have been
Looking for the gates of Eden
The chance to start again
We ate freely from the fruit
Bitter at the core
Knowing we should stop
But we both wanted more—
Crashing through the gates of Eden
Because we could
Living on the edge of freedom
Seduced by what seemed good
Regret won’t be enough
To cover what we’ve done
Mem’ries of who we were
Can’t erase what we’ve become
What we’ve become—
Strangers at the gates of Eden
What once was ours
Pounding on the gates of Eden
With homesick hearts
Lost and scared, longing to be
Innocent again
Just beyond the gates of Eden
Where love began
Where love began
You look tired tonight my dear
Don’t know what to say
The evening breeze is cool
Outside Eden’s gate
