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 Dad's best jeans demin blue.
                 
fading up to the sky 
                                                     
and though you want him to last for ever 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 for ever 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

                        
Oh


                                               
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
