Young Man Dies — текст песни (David Wilcox)

YOUNG MAN DIES

There`s 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 good-byes.
But he can`t go, and you can`t stay,
`cause in the years it takes
to make one man wise, the young man dies.

Meanwhile you`re sailing,
as you wave good-bye to shore.
You`re anticipating what these new days
will hold in store.
It`s the mystery of the ocean,
but now he`s in over his head.
This is no place for the young man,
he`s got to send you on instead.
And still you`re looking so surprised
that this change has come as prophesied
but the years won`t 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.
It`s you in that picture where you`re looking far away
like you hear a whisper of the things
you`ll know someday.
But back then your heart was hungry
for something hard to find; you were
just holding out for someday,
but you`ve 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 man`s dying
`cause in the years it takes to make one man wise,
the young man dies.
