Lyrics
Youth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
when i was young
i thought i was old
i sailed across the sea
to tokyo
i thought there must be more to this world
than we're being told
when you're young
you can afford to be bold
when i was young
i sought
to win a young girl's heart
i chased the girl around a cherry tree
all i ended up winning
was a couple of skinned knees
