Young And Free

Art Garfunkel · Everything Waits To Be Noticed [2002]

Young and free, young and free

How I feel in your company

If only yesterday I've hesitated to say

What would be come of me

Young and free, young and free



Know too much, know too much

Keeps you old and gray and out of touch

The words are quick to sound

The arms are slow to fall around a knowing touch

Young and free, young and free



The clock alarms, the day begins

The lady charms, the blood it spins

She's trying on the satin shoes

She wants to fly to Baton Rouge



Yeah, the clock alarms, the day begins

The lady charms, the blood it spins

She's wants to buy the satin shoes

She wants to fly to Baton Rouge



I don't know why to Baton Rouge



Oh autumn day, autumn day

Leaves like birds, up and flown away

Used to days I used to wake up dead and moan

Stay in bed, the curtains drawn all day



Young and free

Young and free

Young and free
