Lost Youth Lyrics - Bonxie - Stornoway

High up in the valley where the snow still lies 

Hiding in the shadow of the mountainside 

We are lost 

Washed into the river with the sticks and stones 

Buried in the gravel with the mammoth's bones 

We are lost 

And we know just what we want, but we don't know how to describe it 

And so we keep it locked up inside, we don't want anybody else to find it 

We are shaken from the shallows in a winter storm 

Flushed into the channel to be swept off shore 

We are lost 

Cast up on the jetty on a moonlit night 

Thrust into the city on a big spring tide 

We are lost 

And we don't know where we stand, but we think we know what we stand for 

And still we keep it locked up inside, because nobody else could understand why 

We are lost, with nobody else to blame 

We gather in the shadows where we build our strength 

Examining each other for the final test 

We are lost 

We climb into the rocket heading out to space 

And come into the orbit of a new found race 

We are lost 

And we know we're growing up, but we won't know until we get there 

We have to keep it locked up inside, don't know if anybody else has been there 

And we can tell them where we are from, but we don't know if they'd believe it 

So we keep it locked up inside, we don't let anybody share our secret 

We are lost, but now we know we're on our way 

We are lost 

On our way to find peace between our bodies and our brains 

We are lost 

We are lost
