Shapes of Things Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Shapes of things before my eyes

2 Just teach me to despise

3 Will time make man more wise

4 Here within my lonely frame

5 My eyes just hurt my brain

6 But will it seem the same

7 (Come tomorrow), will I be older

8 (Come tomorrow), maybe a soldier

9 (Come tomorrow), may I be bolder than today

10 Now the trees are almost green

11 But will they still be seen

12 When time and tide have been

13 Boy into your passing hands

14 Please don't destroy these land

15 Don't make them desert sands

16 (Come tomorrow), will I be older

17 (Come tomorrow), maybe a soldier

18 (Come tomorrow), may I be bolder than today

19 Soon I hope that I will find

20 A seed within my mind

21 That won't disgrace my kind
