Young Man Dies
Lyricist:David Patrick Wilcox
There's a young man dying As he stands beside the sea You can see him smiling Unbelievably free
Wind in his hair, light in his eyes He looks a lot like you, you look so surprised But he could send you on your way With no goodbyes
But he can't go and you can't stay 'Cause in the years it takes To make one man wise The young man dies
Meanwhile you're sailing As you wave goodbye to shore You're anticipating what these new days Will hold in store
It's the mystery of the ocean An' now he's in over his head This is no place for the young man He's got to send you on instead
Still you're looking so surprised That this change has come as prophesised But the years won't compromise
'Cause in the years it takes To make one man wise The young man The young man dies Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And he was such a lonely boy Yeah, but he could dream, all right He'd picture you a perfect sunrise In the middle of your darkest night
He could take a sip from someday Like he had a secret well He could listen to the voices calling That a distant time would tell
With you in that picture Where you're looking far away Like you hear a whisper Of the things you'll know someday
But back then your heart was hungry For something hard to find Just holding out for someday But you've left that pain behind
He walked you through those mountains Long as he could bear And he'd never reached this fountain But he could take you there
Young man dying 'Cause in the years it takes To make one man wise The young man
The young man The young man
