Strawbs - Starting Over lyrics
rate meWhen I was a young man I wasted my days<br />
Dreaming of fortune and fame<br />
Now as I look back, I can see the mistakes<br />
It's time to move on for I'm starting over<br />
<br />
A kid starting out has much more of a chance<br />
Than I ever had at his age<br />
If only he's willing to take what is his<br />
Time to move on for I'm starting over.<br />
<br />
Time knocks again and again at your door<br />
Opportunities never return<br />
Remember you only get back what you give<br />
It's time to move on for I'm starting over.]<br />
<br />
Time, you have everything<br />
Share it with me<br />
Dark is the mystery<br />
How silently the kestrel is flying.<br />
<br />
He of the watchful eye<br />
In careful pursuit<br />
We the willing prey<br />
Aware of the danger<br />
Content with our fate.<br />
<br />
Swift is the kestrel's flight<br />
Straight to the heart<br />
Solved in a second's pause<br />
How short-lived our time here.<br />
<br />
I envy the wild bird his freedom and space<br />
His view of the world far below<br />
My eyes are wide open to take in the view<br />
It's time to move on for I'm starting over<br />
An experience entered can only be gained<br />
It's never forgotten or lost<br />
We're here for a purpose that few of us find<br />
It's time to move on for I'm starting over.
