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 splendid things

I planned

I always built alas

On weak

And shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned

The naked light of

The day

And only now I see

How the years 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

Life was all about

And every conversation

I can now recall

Concerned itself with me

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 friedns 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

When I

Was young
