I got away in the morning light 
?? After staying awake all night 
?? I saw that man standing by the sea 
?? I'm coming back here anyway 
?? 
?? *Well I want to do good 
?? But I've been doing wrong 
?? I do what I do but I don't understand it 
?? I see and I hear 
?? But I don't know what you demand of me* 
?? 
?? A gentle way can save a life 
?? You looked away and opened my eyes 
?? But I remember every word I spoke 
?? It still cuts like a sharpened knife 
?? 
?? I was old from the start 
?? Now I'm young at heart
