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
