Lyrics:

Once upon a long, long time
Everything was black or white
With shining light to guide us to the dawn

Now there's only grey all day
And the light has dimmed away
The ship of fools is sinking in the storm

[Chorus]
I was young 'til yesterday
Believed the tales they told
I was young 'til yesterday
But now I'm ready to grow old

Everything is going to be
Just the way it's got to be
A man can't change the colour of the sky

Everybody's making plans
Pointing guns and waving flags
But I'm not sure that any side is right

[Chorus]
I was young 'til yesterday
Believed the tales they told
I was young 'til yesterday
But now I'm ready to grow old

I was young 'til yesterday
Believed the tales they told
And I was young 'til yesterday
But now I'm ready to go
I was young 'til yesterday
Believed the tales they told
And I was young 'til yesterday
But now I'm ready to grow old
