Oh Very Young

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 better days

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

(Will you carry the word of love with you?)

(Will you ride? Will you ride? Will you ride?)

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?
