Although they may be swept up so invitingly
But now I clearly see how cruel the young can be!
I never did what I was told
Right up to the moment when love went wrong
I trampled though the amber and the burnished gold
I gaze up at the tree tops and laugh
If you wish both hard and long
You can convince yourself of anything
I need somebody to shake me loose
I want to know what happens next
And I believed that life was wonderful
