Old Man Of 17

(アルバム： The Other One - 1979)

Old man of 17, walking down the road
Your years go by like words
Notes in the Book of Souls
Young man of 21
I guess it ain't your style
'Cause you found the legend lied
But did it with a smile

Yeah you're looking for a revelation
You're dancing in the dark
Deep inside your eyes
Deep inside your heart
Yeah but soon you got to face the angels
Just as naked as you came
Yeah the mystery is simple
Just this: you're born to reign

Old man of 31, you feel like your time is gone
There is so much that's hard
But beautiful to come
Young man of 34
Twisting in the wind
Everything that you thought you knew
You'll have to think again

I can see an angel coming
And he might be dressed in black
'Cause in the vicious month when the tide has turned
It's too late to go back
Ah but soon you got to face the angels
Just as naked as you came
The mystery is simple justice
You're born to reign
