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 evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splending things I planned
I always built alas, on, weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the tears ran away.
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 evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splending things I planned
I always built alas, on, weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the tears ran away.
Yesterday when I was young
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung.
So many wayward 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.
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung.
So many wayward 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 awand
And never saw the waste and emtyness beyond.
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died.
The friends I met all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play.
And every crazy day brought something new to do.
I used my magic age as if it were awand
And never saw the waste and emtyness beyond.
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died.
The friends I met 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.
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday,
When I was young.
This song is from the album "Piano Bar".
