When You Were Young — текст песни (Del Amitri)

Look at the fool you have been

They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream

They bought your beauty and your soul

Then softly sold you back what they stole



So look into the mirror do you recognise someone

Is it who you always hoped you would become

When you were young



The disappointment of success

Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me down dress

And down nostalgias rocky road

You watch your former lovers growing old



So look into the mirror do you recognise someone

Is it who you always hoped you would become

When you were young



Sometimes your lack of sympathy gets hard to explain

So on your mask of make up just paint

A little parody of pain



So I look into the mirror and I recognise someone

It is who you always hoped you would become

When you were young
