I was black and white
I was innocent
I was seventeen
And it was beautiful

I was a summer day
I had a uniform
I was innocent
And it was magical

Up the stream against the current like the salmon
All the rows that are right leave a canyon

You were good to me
Thought I was good to you
Thought I had a hundred lives
But I only had a few

Now my history
Is in an empty glass
I had a good idea
But it didn't last

Up the stream against the current like the salmon
All the rows that are right leave a canyon

I was black and white
I was running high
I was seventeen
I was invincible

It was a summer day
I had a uniform
I was seventeen
And it was magical
Magical
