YOUNG MAN
(BMI) Phoenix*
(as performed by The Womenfolk)

With what do you concern yourself, young man?
With what do you concern yourself, young man?
With the breath of life in a lover's eye,
The pale of the moon in the midnight sky,
The birth of a man and the death he dies
And love.

What are you living for, young man?
What are you living for, young man?
I live for the line of a lover's lips,
The touch of the summer on my fingertips,
The song I sing, a thousand things
And love.

What are you crying for, young man?
What are you crying for, young man?
I cry for the pain of a heart that's torn,
The tears of a woman when her son is born,
The death of a man in the early morn
And love.

What will you be when your life is through, young man?
What will you be when your life is through, young man?
I'll be one with the fire in a lover's eye,
The pale of the moon in the midnight sky,
The birth of a man and the death he dies
And love.
