A Younger Man - Don Henley

I know you’re disappointed

I can see it in your eyes

This isn’t what you wanted

And now you realize

I ain’t no knight in shining armor

Who comes a-ridin' 'cross the lea

You’re lookin' for a younger man, not me

Now, the merchants in the marketplace

They’re selling fantasy

It’s a trick of light and shadow

It’s not reality

It’s just a faded photograph

Of the man I used to be

You’re lookin' for a younger man, not me

I knew the day I met you

It was never gonna last

You’re an angel from the future

I’m an old devil from the past

So, trust me when I tell you

This is the way it’s meant to be

You’re looking for a younger man, not me

If you believe in better days ahead

For this crazy human race

That we will somehow be delivered

By goodness and by grace

And if you’re lookin' for believers

In faith and hope and charity

Then, you’re lookin' for a younger man, not me

You’re lookin' for a younger man, not me

You’re lookin' for a younger man, not me
