When It Was Ours Lyrics - What Have We Become? - Jacqui Abbott

A Daffodil a rusty swing 

A broken bench where once sat King 

A mouldy doll looks to the stars 

And it was mine and it was yours when it was ours 

A withered tree where birds did sing 

A broken song upon the wing 

Those feathered hearts looked up to mars 

When it was mine and it was yours and it was ours 

It was ours when I was yours 

Before this place went on all fours 

Now it's under lock and key 

it isn't you it isn't me 

It's other couples falling walls 

It's other couples punctured balls 

No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs 

Now it ain't ours 

The conversation the whisper laugh 

Is overgrown like garden path 

The twisted branch the crooked stairs 

It was yours it was mine now it's all theirs 

The bicycle with buckled wheel 

Lays on the grass like how we feel 

A sparrow dies then Eagle soars 

Now it's all theirs no longer mine no longer yours 

It was ours when I was yours 

Before this place went on all fours 

Now it's under lock and key 

it isn't you it isn't me 

It's other couples falling walls 

It's other couples punctured balls 

No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs 

Now it ain't ours 

Revisit graveyards pubs and clubs 

But don't go back to the place you love 

They quickly return to distant shores 

When they're not ours no longer mine no longer yours 

It was ours when I was yours 

Before this place went on all fours 

Now it's under lock and key 

it isn't you it isn't me 

It's other couples falling walls 

It's other couples punctured balls 

No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs 

Now it ain't ours
