Revisited > In Between Now and Then

peter sat on a mountaintop
northern blows through his hair all day long
peter never took no time for him to stop
stood right there and stared
singing ooh...

he don't need us anymore cause life is just too good
he'll be living every day and loving like we could
and that's peter's song

have you ever known a boy, lonely as can be
lifetimes away, he was a child of the free
so here he stands alone, crying at the sea
it listens, and moves, and holds him
singing ooh...

he don't need us anymore cause life is just too good
he'll be living every day and loving like we could
and that's peter's song

late one day on that mountaintop peter swept down the side
he'd been waiting all his life for one more chance to ride
but the sun said son, don't you come around up here anymore
so peter topped on his hat, and head to the west shore

singing ladanday
and he's singing it all night long
singing ladanday
and he's singing it all night long
and that's peter's song

have you ever known a boy, lonely as can be
lifetimes away, we were children of the sea
and if the sun, the moon come through
freedom is a guide
hoping that one day we will all try
singing ladanday
and i'm singing it all night long
singing ladanday
and i'm singing it all night long
and that's peter's song
