Em                                                         C  
I saw my youth today
G                                                                                    D  
He passed me on the street
Em                                                    C  
As he walked by I stood frozen
G                                                            D  
On my dreaming feet
Em                                                 C  
He had a kinder face
G                                                                                    D  
The kind I've learned to hide
Em                                                                    C  
Behind these cold unyielding stones
G                                                                      D  
That used to be my eyes
G                                    F#/D                    C  
A moment please my boy
G                                 F#/D              C  
Don't you know my name?
G                                                              D  
Do you remember when
                                                Em            F#/D              C  
We used to play a hundred games?
G                                      F#/D         C  
And is your mother well?
G                              F#/D            C  
Kiss her once for me
G                                                                                              D  
And if she should ask you why
                                                             Em  
Why you could say
F#/D                      C                         D      Em  C  G  D(fÂșur  
Just for no reason
Em                                                              C  
Remember that old troll
  G                                                                      D  
Who lived inside the tree?
Em                                         C  
He was never dangerous
G                                                                         D  
That's just the way it seemed
Em                                                                                      C  
The day you climbed that tree
G                                                                         D  
And ran to show me how
Em                                                            C  
The troll was never seen again
G                                                                              D  
So where could he be now?
G                                    F#/D                         C  
A moment please, my boy
G                              F#/D                    C  
Don't you know this face
G                                                                                 D  
And do you remember when
                                     Em              F#/D         C  
I used to let you win the races?
G                                         F#/D    C  
Please don't run away
G                            F#/D              C  
I did not mean to scare you
G                                                      D  
I'm the one who told you
                                                Em      F#/D         C                              D  
You should never talk to strangers
G                                         F#/D         C  
And is your mother well?
G                              F#/D         C  
Kiss her once for me
G                                                                                                 D  
And if she should ask you why
                                                                Em  
Why you could say
F#/D                         C                      D  
Just for no reason
Em                                                    C  
I saw my youth today
G                                                                              D  
He passed me in the street
Em                                                    C  
As he walked by I stood frozen
G                                                            D  
On my dreaming feet
