Janis Ian - Forever Young lyrics
[Janis Ian - Forever Young lyrics]
Can you see the early morning chill
On the frost that covers this cold hill?
Can you hear the high and lonesome sound
Of shovels striking ground?
Can you feel the earth begin to move
As though judgment day had come too soon?
Can you taste the earth upon her lips
Like one last lover's kiss?
Can you hear the wind begin to howl?
Too late, too late to turn back now
And the fiddle plays until it aches
And fills her resting place
Her memory haunts his heart
Her body burned it's mark
Her soul has flown from his embrace
No more to fеar the dark
Oh jealousy, wherе is thy sting?
Who knows the poison fruit you bring?
But fools rush in where angels fear
And lose the love they hold most dear
We will watch him riding through the gates
To the prison cell that now await's
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
On the frost that covers this cold hill?
Can you hear the high and lonesome sound
Of shovels striking ground?
Can you feel the earth begin to move
As though judgment day had come too soon?
Can you taste the earth upon her lips
Like one last lover's kiss?
Can you hear the wind begin to howl?
Too late, too late to turn back now
And the fiddle plays until it aches
And fills her resting place
Her memory haunts his heart
Her body burned it's mark
Her soul has flown from his embrace
No more to fеar the dark
Oh jealousy, wherе is thy sting?
Who knows the poison fruit you bring?
But fools rush in where angels fear
And lose the love they hold most dear
We will watch him riding through the gates
To the prison cell that now await's
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
