Wit Failure

I thought of something really witty to write about for todays blog, but now I sit in front of the PC, I’ll be buggered if I can think of it.

So here are the lyrics for one of my favourite songs.

Oh Very Young by Cat Stevens (1974)

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
and though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
denim blue, fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last forever you know he never will (you know he never will)
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time (oohh)
there'll never be a better chance to change your mind (ohh)
and if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever you know you never will (you know you never will)
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still (and the goodbye makes the journey harder still)

(Will you carry the word of love with you, will you ride, will you ride, will you ride?)

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
