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

Chorus
