    When I was young, younger than before
    I never saw the truth hanging from the door
    And now I'm older, see it face to face
    And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
    And I was green, greener than the hill
    Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
    Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
    Just hand me down, give me a place to be
    And I was strong, strong in the sun
    I thought I'd see when day was done
    Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
    Oh, so weak in this need for you

He would be over 70 today if he was still alive and it's amazing how people keep his songs alive by re-recording them, it is a testament to how good a song writer he was. The songs are timeless, this recording could have been done in 1600s and it would still make sense then.
