IN MY TWENTIES,
I did stupid things,
Like chasing bees,
and pulling puppet strings.
I wore a cloak of stars
and leather wings,
A young discontent,
while the world did sing.
CHORUS:
IN MY TWENTIES
I did stupid things,
I danced with danger,
just to hear it sing,
But now I've grown,
and my heart brings,
A symphony,
with soaring strings.
I kissed the moon
and painted dreams,
In shades of madness,
or so it seemed,
But then I learned
what's underneath,
The broken mirrors
of youth's defeat.
Oh, the foolish games
that we all played,
In our twenties,
a masquerade,
But now I see,
the path I've laid,
A golden road,
where dreams won't fade.
CHORUS:
IN MY TWENTIES
I did stupid things,
I danced with danger,
just to hear it sing,
But now I've grown,
and my heart brings,
A symphony,
with soaring strings.
So here's to the years
in the sun and the shade,
A cosmic dance,
a love serenade,
IN MY TWENTIES
I did stupid things,
But now I'm wiser,
and the real truth rings.
Because now I know,
there's more to life,
Than chasing phantoms
in the dead of night,
I've grown and changed,
I've seen the light,
And now I've learned what's wrong,
what's right.
CHORUS:
IN MY TWENTIES
I did stupid things,
I danced with danger,
just to hear it sing,
But now I've grown,
and my heart brings,
A symphony,
with soaring strings.

As the author L.P. Hartley wrote, "The past is a different country" and after all that waffle, I'd like to congratulate you Jerry, on another highly enjoyable and relatable song!
"A golden road,
where dreams won't fade." great line
Another classic by the ballad master!
