When I was a young man
21
I wrote songs
I was on The Sun
Unheralded and undone
When I was a young man
ย
I lived in a house
Down a lane
It was so beautiful there
The times were insane
I wrote more songs, and I heard the rain
In that house down the lane
ย
When I was a young man
I didn't know
People told me
Go man, go
That's what they told me
Go, go, go
When I was a young man
Elder brothers
I had a few
One was named David, and the other was Lou
They showed me what it was
That I could do
David and Lou
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahhh, yeah
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahhh, yeah
ย
Raised by mother
Raised by dad
Raised by my brother in the harmony that we had
I was never lonely, and I was never sad
I was never lonely
ย
I left home
At 21
I didn't go far
I followed the sun
Making it brighter for everyone
I left home at 21
Perceptive girl
Of 21
I looked high and low, I found none
How fast, can a young man run?
Let me tell you there were none
Elder brothers
They came along
There was a new David
And there was Tom
They bewitched me, In wardrobe and song
When I was a young man
ย
When I was a young man
ย
When I was a young man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahhh, yeah
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahhh, yeah
ย
Ahhhhh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahhh, yeah
