Youth Lament

(album: The Beaches - 2013)

Sad soul is afraid to fly
Can't see the sun, has swollen eyes
Been crying 'bout the one that got away
Says the world's too cruel
It's too blue
Every day she burns on the stake
Got forever to feel that pain
Let go of the dark if it wants to fade

It's only the beginning
The start has just been triggered
The bells, they keep on ringing
You're part of a neverending story
Your lines have not been written
One day you'll see the morning

But you're young
You're young

Dream of love
Maybe that's not easy
Scream out of your lungs 'til you can't breathe
It's okay to lie
It's okay to bleed
Yeah, the world, it's cruel
So be cool

It's only the beginning
The start has just been triggered
The bells, they keep on ringing
You're part of a neverending story
Your lines have not been written
One day you'll see the morning

But you're young
You're young
You're young
You're young

All alone with her silhouette
Looks up from the magazines and cigarettes
Wraps her body in arms
And takes a breath

It's only the beginning
The start has just been triggered
The bells, they keep on ringing
You're part of a neverending story
Your lines have not been written
One day you'll see the morning
It's only the beginning
The colours keep on dripping
The bells, they keep on ringing

And you're young
You're young
You're young
Settle
