Can you still get there from here
Can you return to those years
Can we still get there from here
Seems it's only walking distance

Remember we walked through the woods
Into the open fields, the Elysian Fields
Wish that nothing had been changed
Youth untouched, innocence the same
Many lifetimes ago, in spring hope was eternal and the grass did grow
There was so much we did not know, many lifetimes ago

And we remember our old friends
And we want to go back again
Allotment of threescore and ten
How much time's been spent
Many lifetimes ago, when the air was thick
The summer bright with hope
No such thing as growing old, many lifetimes ago

The progress of the seasons seemed so slow, that time stood still
But every year the leaves turned gold
We watched October come and go 
Many lifetimes ago, when the leaves did fall upon a country road
We began to see our dreams unfold many lifetimes ago

All our yesterdays have come and gone
We've seen the darkness, we've seen the dawn
It seems that now you just cannot go home 
After you've been gone so long
Many lifetimes ago, now the ground is frozen
And it's covered with snow
There's still so much that we don't know
How much lifetime to go

Can you still get there from here
Can you return to those years
Can we still get there from here
Seems it's only walking distance
