There's a young man dying As 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, you look so surprised But he could send you on your way With no goodbyes But he can't go and you can't stay 'Cause in the years it takes To make one man wise The young man dies Meanwhile you're sailing As you wave goodbye to shore You're anticipating what these new days Will hold in store It's the mystery of the ocean An' now he's in over his head This is no place for the young man He's got to send you on instead Still you're looking so surprised That this change has come as prophesised But the years won't compromise 'Cause in the years it takes To make one man wise The young man The young man dies And he was such a lonely boy Yeah, but he could dream, all right He'd picture you a perfect sunrise In the middle of your darkest night He could take a sip from someday Like he had a secret well He could listen to the voices calling That a distant time would tell With you in that picture Where you're looking far away Like you hear a whisper Of the things you'll know someday But back then your heart was hungry For something hard to find Just holding out for someday But you've left that pain behind He walked you through those mountains Long as he could bear And he'd never reached this fountain But he could take you there Young man dying 'Cause in the years it takes To make one man wise The young man The young man The young man
