Tears of Youth
The old men in my morning view
Go limping by the glass
They've conquered all the tears of youth
And can see their life at last
And in evening shadows they'll raise a cup
Of life to quench their thirst
And I'll join them one day too
If tears of youth don't get me first
At birth you cried inhaling hard
The air into your tender lungs
Now take your breath, your sighs, your words
And turn them into songs
And beneath a light or by a fire tell
Your story verse by verse
And I'll join you on the stage
If tears of youth don't get me first
And beneath a light or by a fire tell
Your story verse by verse
And I'll join you on the stage
If tears of youth don't get me first
Go limping by the glass
They've conquered all the tears of youth
And can see their life at last
And in evening shadows they'll raise a cup
Of life to quench their thirst
And I'll join them one day too
If tears of youth don't get me first
At birth you cried inhaling hard
The air into your tender lungs
Now take your breath, your sighs, your words
And turn them into songs
And beneath a light or by a fire tell
Your story verse by verse
And I'll join you on the stage
If tears of youth don't get me first
And beneath a light or by a fire tell
Your story verse by verse
And I'll join you on the stage
If tears of youth don't get me first
