p.2 Yesterday, When I Was Young
Instrumental (same as verse)
Yester-day 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 a-way, 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 yester-day when I was young.
