We'd search for ages But when did we get so old? Our feet on the pavement Are growing cold We left for adventure And came to foreign skies There I saw the wonders With my eyes Oh Pilgrim you've got my ear Won't you tell me the stories of your younger years ♪ Oh shout for your freedom And ask me to decide And then your pride began to show As well as mine And we fought with the Devil All through the night And our faith was shaken Though our flags were high And all in all you never left my side ♪ And we fought with the Devil all through the night (But when did we get so old?) And the angels came with a holy light (We'd search for ages but when did we get so old?) And the lame they danced and the dumb ones sang (We'd search for ages but when did we get so old?) And the blind they saw the light of day (Our feet on the pavement are growing cold) Growing cold ♪ And we fought with the Devil All through the night And our faith was shaken Though our flags were high And we fought with the Devil All through the night And our faith was shaken Though our flags were high And all in all you never left my side ♪ Oh pilgrim you've got my ear Won't you tell me the stories of your younger years
