Mick Brady: Lyrics

Ancient Feelings

You’re on your way, out on your own

You’re grown up now, you know where you’re going

But I think about you all of the time

Got your face on rotation going round in my mind


I know you’ve gotta learn to dance

You’re gonna take every precious chance

You wanna stand on your own two feet

You’ve gotta move to your own beat


Ancient feelings in my blood

Stronger than faith, deeper than love

These feelings got me night and day

These ancient feelings


I remember things you used to say

I think of games we used to play

And I’m counting the days till you come home

I’m keeping a watch on the telephone


But tomorrow’s dreams are no use today

Sometimes I feel I’m stuck halfway

Between what’s to come and what’s gone past

And the present drifts away too fast
