Still Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
First I saw you standing there
Eyes so wild beneath your hair
Coat worn blacker than the sun
Shook your head like Strummer strummed
We stood like soldiers in a line
Heard the bells of midnight chime
We turned grey walls to fields of green
The only fate that we could scream was
While you’re still young
Find your heart and find your song
Now where have you gone?
No matter where you’re going
And no matter where you’ve been
You never needed anybody else’s call now
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you
Never met a one like you, don’t bring me down
There’s a dream that haunts my nights
Of wild black horses out in flight
The kind of free I’d never been
A kind of beast I’d never seen
Why do all things end in pain?
I call the ghosts and ask their names
Is that love you’re running from?
If you lead then I will come
And while you’re still young
Find your heart and find your song
Now where have you gone?
No matter where you’re going
And no matter where you’ve been
You never needed anybody else’s call now
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you
Never met a one like you, don’t bring me down
Basta de cuentos (enough fables/lies) Basta de cuentos
Es tiempo de lo nuestro (It’s time of what is ours) Es-Tiempo de lo nuestro
Tengo tu alma (I’ve got your soul) Tengo tu alma
Bien metida adentro (embedded in me) Bien metitha-adentro
While you’re still young
Find your heart and find your song
While you’re still young
Find your heart and find your song
While you’re still young
Find your heart and find your song
Now where have you gone?
Oh oh oh . . .
No matter where you’re going
And no matter where you’ve been
You never needed anybody else’s call now
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you
Never met a one like you, don’t bring me down
