Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just heard my brain
But will it seem the same?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?
Fallin' into your passing hands
Please don't destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Soon I hope that I will find
Thoughts deep within my mind
That won't displace my kind
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just heard my brain
But will it seem the same?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?
Fallin' into your passing hands
Please don't destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Soon I hope that I will find
Thoughts deep within my mind
That won't displace my kind

Singolo scritto da Paul Samwell-Smith, Keith Relf e Jim McCarty
Ripreso dal Jeff Beck Group nell’album d’esordio “Truth” del 1968. Voce: Rod Stewart
CCG/AWS ed ambientalista finora sfuggita alle nostre sempre serrate ricerche.
Secondo alcuni critici si tratterebbe oltre tutto di uno dei primissimi brani musicali ascrivibili al rock psichedelico...
Per la versione di Jeff Beck non parlerei di una cover, visto che il chitarrista era tra i membri degli Yardbirds, scioltisi già nel 1968, insieme ad una altro mostro sacro della 6 (e +) corde: Jimmy Page.
Altri che ci hanno provato: David Bowie, Jeff Healey Band, Gary Moore, Nazareth, Rush, Scorpions e molti ancora...
