Between Seventeen And Twenty Lyrics

I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight

 Whose head rests upon the bed

 Could it be a close friend I knew so well

 Who seems to be so close to you instead

 Close to you instead

 

 I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad

 I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad

 I guess I cannot have everything

 So much has flown between the years

 When I was twenty and you were seventeen

 

 So out of choice I chose rock and roll

 But it pushed me to the limit everyday

 It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home

 From there on, there seemed no use for you

 For you to stay

 

 And if I shower around 3 a.m.

 It's just to wash away

 The trace of a love unwanted

 Oh in the times I went astray

 The times I went astray

 

 So much has flown between the years

 When I was twenty and you were seventeen
