As I Come Of Age

AS I COME OF AGE- Crosby, Stills and Nash

As I come of age, I keep fallin' down

And I feel just like a schoolboy

I was in a senseless rage

Running too hard, and I tore you all to pieces

Yes but it's all over now

And I'm a little bit older now

The lessons that I'm learning now

Are gonna make it easy (somehow)

Now again I try, starting over

Put the pieces back together

Even as I cry, bitter tears

I can see it's all a puzzle

A game, always the same, ooh ...CHORUS

By the time I die, with the passing

If I've sorted out my changes

And if you could take the time

I would tell you that it's still a puzzle

The same, always a game, ooh

(from the CSN box set, recorded by CSN around 1981 but unreleased till

the set, originally done by Stills on his solo album Stills in 1975. I

prefer the 75 version. (the extra word "somehow" comes from that version))
