Strawbs - Sad Young Man lyrics

rate me

You look to me a sad young man<br />

Down is where you're going<br />

You've blindly found an easy way<br />

You think that it's not showing.<br />

<br />

Is this what you want<br />

Is this what you're struggling to be<br />

Brought your face to the ground<br />

Won't you ever see.<br />

<br />

You came down south from Birmingham<br />

Tired of all the faces<br />

A stranger to a strange new town<br />

Unfamiliar places.<br />

<br />

You came down and you didn't know why<br />

And then you didn't even try<br />

Swept along by the crowd<br />

Blown along like a cloud.<br />

<br />

The heavy spell of dark and night<br />

Your created isolation<br />

This loneliness just need not be<br />

You are your own creation.<br />

<br />

Though you may be down and out<br />

Life need not be so heavy<br />

For even though your dues are high<br />

Should you become the levy.<br />

<br />

Is this what you want<br />

Is this what you're struggling to be<br />

Is this what you want<br />

Is this what you've struggled to be.
