Oh very young

What will you leave us this time?

You're only dancin' on this earth

For a short while

And though your dreams

May toss and turn you now

They will vanish away

Like your Dad's best jeans

Denim blue, fadin' 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

Till 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 dancin' on this earth

For a short while

Oh very young

What will leave us this time?
