Lyrics: Olaf Øwre

Between the barracks on the hill

Oh, when we we’re kids playing hide
And seek and tumbling down the stairs
We were free to do what we pleased
And the summer bleached our hair

Between the barracks on the hill
Now they’re gone but I see them still
The ol’ barracks on the hill, I see them still

Yeah, echoes of dreams, I can hear children sing
Their rhymes from way back when
Our village green was such a picturesque scene
Wish I could take you there

Between the barracks on the hill
Now they’re gone but I see them still
The ol’ barracks on the hill, I see them still, whoa

Between the barracks on the hill
Now they’re gone but I see them still
The ol’ barracks on the hill, I see them still

Oh, wide-eyed and bewildered, surely naive
Oh, we started climbing the ladder of the wisdom tree
Wide-eyed and bewildered, yeah
But we started climbing the wisdom tree, whoa
Yes, I can see the barracks on the hill

Between the barracks on the hill
Now they’re gone but I see them still
The ol’ barracks on the hill

Oh, between the barracks on the hill
Now they’re gone but I see them still
The ol’ barracks on the hill, I see them still

Between the barracks on the hill
Now they’re gone but I see them still
The ol’ barracks on the hill

Yes, I see them still, na nanana nana na na
Between the barracks on the hill, I see them still
