| Lyrics: | by Ginger Baker and Mike Taylor
When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the
sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.
Golden
cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to
hell
Disguised as heaven.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the
days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere, are they now?
They're gone.
Those
were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were,
those were the days.
Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your
hair,
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame.
Wonder everywhere.
Those were the
days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere, are they
now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those
were the days, yes they were, those were the days |
