when i was young Songtext / Lyric

The rooms were so much colder
then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young.
When I was young.

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a that yen.
And I had quite a ball
When Iw as young.

When I was young it was more
important
Pain more painful and laughter
much louder-yeah
When I was young
When I was young,

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty
green,
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young,
When I was young.

When I was young it was more
important
Pain more painful and laughter
much louder-yeah
When I was young,
When I was young.

My faith was so much stronger
then,
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
'When I was young,
When I was young,
When I was young...
