Yesterday, When I Was Young
Roy Clark
It seems the love I've known has always been the most
destructive kind. I guess that's why now I feel so old before
my time.
Yesterday, when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lieved by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday, when I was young
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for
Yesterday, when I was young
shunned = avoid 피하다
in store 예비된
arrogance 오만
drift away 떠나다
lit 불을 밝혔다 켜졌다
wand 마법의 지팡이
dazzled eyes 눈부신 눈
ran out 떨어졌다
magic age 마법 시대
splended 화려한
myth 신화
legend 전설
tale 우화
anecdote 일화 일상적인 이야기
spring to life 갑자기 활발해지다
spring to your feet 벌떡 일어서다
spring a surprise 갑자기 놀라게 하다
spring to mind 갑자기 생각이 떠 오르다
went out of business 사업이 망했다
get around (소문 등이) 퍼지다
scatter 흩뿌리다
You bet 당연하다
You have been holding out on. 마음에 품었다
reduce price 깍은 값
