Oh very young
What will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
And though your dreams may toss
And turn you now
They will vanish away
Like your daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last
Forever you know he never will
You know he never will
And the patches
Make the goodbye harder still.
-
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time?
There'll never be a better chance
To change your mind
And if you want this world
To see a better day
Will you carry
The words of love with you?
Will you ride
The great white bird into heaven?
And though you want to last
Forever you know you never will
You know you never will
And the goodbye
Makes the journey harder still.
-
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time?
