I was a young man with lots of time: Pt. 3 of Trilogy

Lyrics

I was a young man with lots of time,
To have lots of time, that is the crime.
Born to a lifespan without a plan,
Without a plan, that's the young man.

She was the girl of my destiny,
Was the best of me, star of my world.
But long 'fore she left, in the west
Of the darkening chest of me, sadness began.

Ooh,
Love strong and true
Is an attitude
Posed completely nude.

See two in you who accept the shape,
Who construct the tape measuring you.
Then you'll be old, but you'll have a plan,
Without a plan, that's the young man.
