hugh cornwell - when i was a young man lyrics
[chorus]
when i was a young man
when i was a young man
i navigated stormy seas between the shifting sands
when i was a young man
when i was a young man
investigated all my needs whenever i hit land
[post+chorus]
mother, please forgive me for forgetting you forget
father, i forgive you for regretting that we met
[chorus]
now i’m not a young man
now i’m not a young man
the ships, they sink, but i refrain from shouting what i know
now i’m not a young man
now i’m not a young man
as years go by and friends, they die
they leave me living slow
[post+chorus]
mother, i remember the cat dying on thе rug
father, gotta thank you for the cardboard in your hug
[chorus]
when i was a young man
fеlt just like an old man
my memory has failed on me and left me holding cans
now i’m not a young man
don’t wanna be a young man
there’s no attraction i can see, i’ll stick to making plans
[post+chorus]
mother, i remember you were ready for your call
father, i’ll forgive you for your silence and your pall
[outro]
when i was a young man
yeah, when i was a young man
when i was a young man
when i was a young man
yeah, when i was a young man
yeah, when i was a young man
when i was a young man
yeah, when i was a young man
yeah, when i was a young man
yeah, when i was a young man
