    Oh Very Young (Live ’74)

    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 them to last forever
    You know they never will – you know they never will
    And the patches make the goodbye harder still

    Oh very young,
    What will you leave us this time?
    There’ll never be a better chance to change your mind
    And if you want this world to see better days
    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 they never will – you know they never will
    And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

    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?
