Old Soldier Lyrics - David Crosby

Listen old soldier wherever you are 

The hills or the valleys come near or come far 

They say youth's a treasure we waste when we're young 

So come down from the place where your medals are hung 

You're forever returning and learning to fight 

And you feel just like an old soldier tonight 

Listen old soldier cause time doesn't wait 

The moon's on your shoulder the hour is late 

There's something there inside you still calls out to you 

And you won't fade away whatever you do 

You're forever beginning barely winning the fight 

And you feel just like an old soldier tonight 

You're not getting any younger that much is true now 

But you've still got that hunger burning in you now 

So what do you do now

What do you do now? 

Listen old soldier to the sound in your ears 

Of too many battles for too many years 

There's only one thing you've learned in defeat 

Losing is bitter and victory is sweet 

You're always unraveling traveling light 

And you feel just like an old soldier tonight 

Feel just like an old soldier tonight, mmm
