James Taylor - Never Die Young Lyrics
We were ring-around-the-rosy childrenThey were circles around the sunNever give up, never slow downNever grow old, never ever die youngSynchronized with the rising moonEven with the evening starThey were true love written in stoneThey were never alone, they were never that far apartAnd we who couldnt bear to believe they might make itWe got to close our eyesCut up our losses into doable dosesRation our tears and sighsYou could see them on the street on a saturday nightEveryone used to run them downTheyre a little too sweet, theyre a little too tightNot enough tough for this townWe couldnt touch them with a ten-foot poleNo, it didnt seem to rattle at allThey were glued together body and soulThat much more with their backs up against the wallOh, hold them up, hold them upNever do let them fallPrey to the dust and the rust and the ruinThat names us and claims us and shames us allI guess it had to happen someday soonWasnt nothing to hold them downThey would rise from among us like a big baloonTake the sky, forsake the groundOh, yes, other hearts were brokenYeah, other dreams ran dryBut our golden ones sail on, sail onTo another land beneath another sky
