Young stay young
Stay strong and get on with it;
Gone way gone one day it’s all gone
And you’re all done

All my friends are running to their own corners
The hurters and the haters
And the faders and the mourners
The world goes to its work and it is not gentle
In what it breaks you down into
All my friends are looking in life
And it’s a long long long long lonely time
I said that when you met me I was just dying
I said it to no one I said it in silence

Young stay young Face dawn all talk and quick
Stunned stay stunned mind blown
And your jaw drops
And all these hateful people judging and hand-wringing
Oh lord why don’t you bury me in all they call sinning
Open up your heart
Show me the place where love is missing
How long have you been missing love
I see all creation pulsing and divided up between it
Now you have to lay me down because my head is spinning

Try try hard to drop fear and to drop your guard
Off off of love off drugs Just feel it in your blood

And I call to all my friends:
All the cracked-cassette-tape-thrillers

All the hand-inside-the-tillers

And the hundred-dollar-billers
Standing by the stone that was rejected by the builders
There was drinking at the bar
They carried from the burning building
Never let it be said daddy wasn’t willing
Well I know you miss him
Girl I’ve lost the edges off the earth
You make it wider When I see your crying
Don’t you know it’s killing me
Now climb climb up
Way up to see the sun One
One draw One life
One love You’ve only got one
And young stay young girl Get tough
Get on with it Young stay young
It’s a heartbreak; step with it; stay young
