Lyrics
Young Till Yesterday
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.
Once upon a long long time, everything was black or white
With shining light to guide us to the dawn.
Now there's only grey and grey and the light has dimmed away
The ship of fools is sinking in the storm.
Woah.
I was young till yesterday, believed the tales they told
And I was young till yesterday, but now I'm ready to grow old
Everything is going to be, just the way it's got to be
A man can't change the colour of the sky.
Everybody's making plans, pointing guns and waving flags
But I'm not sure that any side is right.
I was young till yesterday, believed the tales they told
And I was young till yesterday, but now I'm ready to grow old
I was young till yesterday, believed the tales they told
And I was young till yesterday, but now I'm ready to grow
I was young till yesterday, believed the tales they told
And I was young till yesterday, but now I'm ready to grow old
