Oh Very Young

And though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
What will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
Denim blue fading up to the sky
Will you carry the words of love with you?
You know they never will
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind

Will you carry the words of love with you?
You know you never will

And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven?
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
Oh very young
And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And if you want this world to see a better day
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time?
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
