When I was younger than tomorrow, when I was wise as yesterday

When I could share my brother's sorrow, even then you went away



When my heart was yours to play with, though yours was never mine

And when I was there to lay with, even then you had no time



Chorus:

Mother can you carry me, clear across the sky

Mother can you carry me, show me how to fly, high



(Solo)



Now I am wise as tomorrow, and I am young as yesterday

Now I have nothing but my sorrow, yesterday, tomorrow and today



chorus
