a younger man
I know you're disappointed I can see it in your eyes This isn't what you wanted And now you realize I ain't no knight in shining armor Who comes a-ridin' 'cross the lea You're lookin' for a younger man - not me Now, the merchants in the marketplace They're selling fantasy It's a trick of light and shadow It's not reality It's just a faded photograph Of the man I used to be You're lookin' for a younger man - not me I knew the day I met you It was never gonna last You're an angel from the future I'm an old devil from the past So, trust me when I tell you This is the way it's meant to be You're looking for a younger man - not me If you believe in better days ahead For this crazy human race That we will somehow be delivered By goodness and by grace And if you're lookin' for believers In faith and hope and charity Then, you're lookin' for a younger man - not me You're lookin' for a younger man - not me You're lookin' for a younger man - not me
