1981.

It was 1981,
I had nothing else to do,
There was a future in the sun,
I was watching my dreams come true,
I was laughing out loud,
I was on the edge of every night,
When it all came crashing down,
When my brother lost his life,

O', so much... so gone,
There was nothing I could do,
O', so young... so wrong,
It tore my life in two,
O', so much... so gone,
So young... so wrong,
O', so much... so gone,
So very young,
In 1981,

O', in 1981,
I had a love that was so true,
But it all came so undone,
There was nothing I could do,
We were happy; I was proud,
'Til my world came crashing down,
Our dreams; all our vows,
In fallen hearts upon the ground,
O', so much... so gone,
There was nothing I could do,

O', so young... so wrong,
It tore my life in two,
O', so much... so gone,
So young... so wrong,
O', so much... so gone,
So very young,
In 1981,

It was 1981,
I had nothing left to do,
With no future and no sun,
My dreams would not come true,
It was final; it was sad,
On the edge of no return,
There was nothing left for love,
And nothing left to learn,

O', so much... so gone,
There was nothing I could do,
O', so young... so wrong,
It tore my life in two,
O', so much... so gone,
So young... so wrong,
O', so much... so gone,
So very young,
In 1981,

Yeah, so much... so gone,
So young... so wrong,
How can I... go on,
With so much... so gone,
O', how can I go on,
So much... so gone.
