Last Year’s Man Lyrics by Doves

Constellations For The Lonely

2025

So now, is the time
\nTo take my stand
\nJust for once
\nI tried to catch this time
\nIn my hands
\nBut it slips through
\nIt slips through like sand
\nNothing is still
\nYet nothing remains
\nOf last year's, last year's man
\n
\nOh, where did they go?
\nYour family was small
\nYou watch them grow
\nBut time went so fast
\nWhen you want them to stay
\nTo stay the same
\nYet nothing remains
\nAnd no one who stays the same
\nAnd no one's to blame
\n
\nBut I know and I know, and I know and I know it's a game
\nThis game we play
\nI'm trying to get through the day and feel no shame
\nI feel no shame
\n
\nOh, and I know and I know, and I know and I know it's a game
\nThis game we play
\nI'm trying to get through these days
\nAnd I know and I know, and I know and I know
\nAnd I know and I know, and I know it's a cruel game
\nThis game we play
\nLast year's man
\nYou did the best you can
\n
\nLast year's man\n\n
