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 daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the skyAnd though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
You know they never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder stillOh 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 forever
You know you never will
You know you never will
And the goodbye makes the journey harder stillWill you carry the words of love with you?
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbyeOh 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?
