lyrics

we've been talking about girls
we've been talking about cars
in those stupid and innocent years

we've been talking about songs
and we hung out in bars
spent a good penny on
booze and on beer
and embarked upon god knows where

Molli, oh Molli
the ravens are back
you were right when you told me back then
there were bridges to burn
there were lessons to learn
quite some of them I do regret, oh Molli
but honestly, most of them I did forget

we were dreaming wet dreams
like the most of us did
when we thought time was on our side

till the first of us fell
till we found out that hell
is where dreamers are sent
for the time they did spend
oh stupid and innocent years

Molli, oh Molli
the ravens are back
you were right when you told me back then
there were bridges to burn
there were lessons to learn
quite some of them I do regret, oh Molli
but honestly most of them I did forget

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Molli, oh Molli
the ravens are back
they're both in the birch by the pond
there's some comfort in this
and no more do I miss
those wasted and stupid and innocent years
those glamorous, stupid and innocent years
those glorious, stupid and innocent years
