I saw you on the sidewalk
Your head and shoulders bent
I thought I recognised you
But it was someone else
It got me to thinking of you
And break into a smile
Because when I knew you boy
You were in your prime
In your prime
In your prime
I had you in your prime
Up against resistence baby
You roared like a lion
You had them all down
You blew them all away
When you were in your prime
Boy I've got to say
Some say you killed a man
Some say the man killed you
Some want you to stay the same
For some you'll never do
But still you go your own way
Still the world turns around
When you're in the zone
A different space and time
In your prime
In your prime
I had you in your prime
Between the soft newness and
Hollow, hollow cheeks of time
You had them all down
You blew them all away
When you were in you'r prime
Your love I won't foresake
