Tender Years Lyrics

Cover art for Tender Years lyrics by John Cafferty

I think the lyric should is “two young hearts filled with dreams, to walk away WITH it all” (not “to walk away from it all”. It’s tempting, I’d imagine, to believe it’s “from”, since that’s what Eddie did. But Eddie only did that after Wendell died, and the stuff went down with ‘Season In Hell’, and he felt alone and backed into a corner). But this song is about two people in love, one of whom is looking back on the wonder that young love brought into their lives, and what was going through his mind and heart BACK THEN. It’s definitely “to walk away WITH it all”.
