When I was young, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older, see it face to face And now I'm older, got to get up clean the place And I was greener, greener than the hill Where flowers grew and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day is done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh so weak in this need for you
