Before You Were Young

in the days before you were young
we used to sit in the mourning sun
we used to turn the radio on
what happened?
we'd see our lies in the eyes of faith
and take our cradles to the grave
well even then we never saved
from danger
and if you ever leave me come
i will be there waiting
waiting for you know i will
i love you for ever
i'll never say never
bet i've only got two hands
and i'll never learn to dance
i'll never get a second chance
whatever
i'll take the breath away from your sighs
and whipe the tears away from your eyes
and hope the fire never dies
inside you
and if you ever leave me come
i will be there waiting
waiting for you know i will
i love you
in the days before you were young
we used to sit in the mourning sun
we used to turn the radio on
what happened?
