Shapes of Things Songtext
von The Yardbirds

Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make man more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
But will it seem the same?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder
Than today


Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
When time and might have been?
Fall into your passing hands
Please don′t destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder
Than today

Soon, I hope that I will find
Thoughts deep within my mind
That won′t disgrace my kind
