JAMES TAYLOR - Never Die Young lyrics

rate me

We were ring-around-the-rosy children<br>They were circles around the sun<br>Never give up, never slow down<br>Never grow old, never ever die young<br><br>Synchronized with the rising moon<br>Even with the evening star<br>They were true love written in stone<br>They were never alone, they were never that far apart<br><br>And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it<br>We got to close our eyes<br>Cut up our losses into doable doses<br>Ration our tears and sighs<br><br>You could see them on the street on a saturday night<br>Everyone used to run them down<br>They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight<br>Not enough tough for this town<br><br>We couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole<br>No, it didn't seem to rattle at all<br>They were glued together body and soul<br>That much more with their backs up against the wall<br><br>Oh, hold them up, hold them up<br>Never do let them fall<br>Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin<br>That names us and claims us and shames us all<br><br>I guess it had to happen someday soon<br>Wasn't nothing to hold them down<br>They would rise from among us like a big baloon<br>Take the sky, forsake the ground<br><br>Oh, yes, other hearts were broken<br>Yeah, other dreams ran dry<br>But our golden ones sail on, sail on<br>To another land beneath another sky
