David Crosby - Old Soldier lyrics

Listen old soldier wherever you are The hills or the valleys Come near or come far They say youth's a treasure We waste when we're young So come down from the place Where your medals are hung You're forever returning and learning to fight And you feel just like an old soldier tonight Listen old soldier 'cause time doesn't wait The moon's on your shoulder The hour is late There's something there inside you Still calls out to you And you won't fade away Whatever you do You're forever beginning Barely winning the fight And you feel just like an old soldier tonight You're not getting any younger That much is true now But you've still got that hunger Burning in you now So what do you do now What do you do now Listen old soldier To the sound in your ears Of too many battles For too many years There's only one thing You've learned in defeat Losing is bitter And victory is sweet You're always unravelling Traveling light And you feel just like an old soldier tonight Feel just like an old soldier tonight
