Yesterday When I Was Young
In the style of
Lyrics
seems the love
i've known
has always been
the most
destructive kind
guess that's
why now
i feel so old
before my time
yesterday
when i was young
the taste of
life was sweet
as rain upon
my tongue
i teased at life
as if it were
a foolish game
the way the
evenin' breeze
may tease a
candle flame
the thousand dreams
i dreamed
the splendid things
i planned
i always built to last
on weak and
shifting sand
i lived by night
and shunned the
naked light of day
and only now i see
how the years
ran away
yesterday
when i was young
so many happy songs
were waiting
to be sung
so many
wild pleasures
lay in store for me
and so much pain
my dazzled eyes
refused to see
i ran so fast
that time and
youth at last ran out
i never stopped
to think
what life was
all about
and every
conversation
i can now recall
concerned itself
with me
and nothing else
at all
yesterday
the moon was blue
and every crazy day
brought something
new to do
i used my magic age
as if it were a wand
and never saw
the waste and
emptiness beyond
the game of love
i played
with arrogance
and pride
and every flame i lit
too quickly
quickly died
the friends i made
all seemed somehow
to drift away
and only i am
left on stage
to end the play
there are so
many songs
in me that
won't be sung
i feel the bitter taste
of tears upon
my tongue
the time has
come for me
to pay for
yesterday
when i was young
