about

I love Stephen Stills' songs, playing and production. This poignant coming-of-age ballad is one of his best. I embellished my version with textured electric guitars. 

lyrics

Four and 20 years ago
I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man
Who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more

A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman? Can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away?
Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise
And I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
I embrace the many colored beast
I grow weary of the torment
Can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing
That my life would simply cease

Four and twenty, four and twenty, four and twenty...
