YOUNG MAN DIESThere's a young man dyingas 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 surprisedthat he would send you on your waywith no good-byes.But he can't go, and you can't stay,'cause in the years it takesto 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 dayswill 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 surprisedthat this change has come as prophesiedbut the years won't compromise,'cause in the years it takesto 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 sunrisein 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 callingfrom a distant time will tell.It's you in that picture where you're looking far awaylike you hear a whisper of the thingsyou'll know someday.But back then your heart was hungryfor something hard to find; you werejust 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...............................................1999 Midnight Ocean Bonfire Music(ASCAP)/Cindy Lou My Dear (ASCAP)All Rights Reserved/International Copyright Secured
