YOUNG MAN DIES Theres a young man dying As he stands beside the sea You can see him smiling, unbelievably free Wind in his hair, light in his eyes He looks a lot like you, and you look so surprised That he would send you on your way With no goodbyes But he cant go, and you cant stay cause in the years it takes To make one man wise, the young man dies Meanwhile youre sailing As you wave goodbye to shore Youre anticipating what these new days Will hold in store Its the mystery of the ocean But now hes in over his head This is no place for the young man Hes got to send you on instead And still youre looking so surprised That this change has come as prophesied But the years wont compromise cause in the years it takes To make one man wise, the young man dies The young man He was such a lonely boy Yeah, but he could dream, all right He could picture you a perfect sunrise In the middle of your darkest night And he could take a sip from someday Like he had a secret well He could listen to the voices calling From a distant time will tell Its you in that picture where youre looking far away Like you hear a whisper of the things Youll know someday But back then your heart was hungry For something hard to find you were Just holding out for someday But youve left that pain behind cause he walked you through those mountains For as long as he could bear He never reached the fountain But he could take you there The young mans dying cause in the years it takes to make one man wise The young man dies .............................................. 1999 Midnight Ocean Bonfire MusicASCAPCindy Lou My Dear ASCAP All Rights ReservedInternational Copyright Secured
