[Verse 1]
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?

[Verse 2]
Here, within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
Will time make men more sane?

[Chorus]
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier, now listen
Come tomorrow, maybe I'm older than today?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Here, within my lonely frame
My eyes just heard my god darn brain
But time make men more sane?

An English rock band formed in January 1967 by former Yardbird Jeff Beck. The first Jeff Beck Group included vocalist Rod Stewart, guitarist Ronnie Wood, and a changing array of bass players and drummers. This lineup recorded Truth in 1968 – which reached the number 15 spot in the US charts – and Beck-Ola 1969.

In-fighting within the band led Jeff Beck to reform reform the group in 1970 with vocalists Alex Ligertwood and Bobby Tench, keyboardist Max Middleton, drummer Cozy Powell, and bassist Clive Chaman. This group released Rough and Ready in 1971.

The Jeff Beck Group’s final album, Jeff Beck Group, was released in January 1972. The Jeff Beck Group officially disbanded in July of 1972.
