Ice Cream Days (Tanya, Never Had a Friend Like You)

Down to the village shop
The wind is high, It's rushing through the trees
We kicked the puddles, scuffed our shoes
A shilling in each pocket, for licorice and chews

Down from the high hilltop
Sliding down the banks, we tumbled as we flew
Swam in the streams
And made clay pots, got our clothes from jumble sales
We wouldn't buy anything new
Oh that would never do

Tanya, I've never had a friend like you
We shared everything, we talked and laughed and grew
Tanya, I've never had a friend like you
Jokes on everyone
And no one could stop us, doing what we wanted to
God I miss you

Yesterday I called you up
I wanted to know, did you remember me
But your laugh is gone, someone has cut you down
Now you're trying to find your way, to safer ground
Go now before you drown

Remember the ice cream days
Whistle to the wind, and blow away the night
With a penny in your pocket, you can go to the shop
Give your smile to the lady, and steal everything she's got
The sky's the limit when you break the lock

Tanya, I've never had a friend like you
We shared everything, we talked and laughed and grew
Tanya, I've never had a friend like you
Jokes on everyone
And no one could stop us, doing what we wanted to
God I miss you

Whistle to the wind
And bring your roller skates too
Inst
You can find your silver wings
Inst
Go put on your silver wings
Inst
You can find your silver wings
