Young

There was a place in the hills by the bay

where we'd watch our ships pass, and lights flicker away

we would dig our hole there and let new worlds have their way

to be young and in love, yeah push the dirt 'cross our face.

all of the ones that had told us before

we would sing our laments drying up on the shore

to be young and in love, to be young and in love

we can sail through the night but we will never find land.

there was a night when the angels appeared

said "son it's alright, you can't see it from here,

but the heavens await, for those who will pay

we will stand at your door but we will never knock"

all of the ones that had told us before

we would sing our laments drying up on the shore

to be young and in love, to be young and in love

we can sail through the night but we will never find...

and all of the words that the sea floor could hold

swimming down by the weight of the waves as they fold

to be young and in love, to be young and in love

we can sail through the night but we will never find land
