1982 The Wild Swans

When I was young
In the drunkard suit
It sure is great the leather on my hardened boot
The crippled hearts then back to us
Prayers were on their lips to end their siblings hurts

Boys they'll never change
They'll never change
They'll end up bitter

My youth was gone
Rent was due
Lying amongst the wreckage changed my point of view
The Autumn years went rolling by
[?] That's like lullabies

So long the rose
It breathes it's last
Bring me back to present from my distant past

Boys they'll never change
They'll never change

Boys they'll never change
They'll never change
But I'm not bitter I'm older now
