Last Year's Man

So now, is the time

To take my stand

Just for once

I tried to catch this time

In my hands

But it slips through

It slips through like sand

Nothing is still

Yet nothing remains

Of last year's, last year's man

Oh, where did they go?

Your family was small

You watch them grow

But time went so fast

When you want them to stay

To stay the same

Yet nothing remains

And no one who stays the same

And no one's to blame

But I know and I know, and I know and I know it's a game

This game we play

I'm trying to get through the day and feel no shame

I feel no shame

Oh, and I know and I know, and I know and I know it's a game

This game we play

Trying to get through these days

Oh, and I know and I know, and I know and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it's a cruel game

This game we play

Last year's man

You did the best you can

Last year's man
