about
Two philosophical thoughts pertaining to the human condition: One advantage of being old is that you cannot die young and that having lived your life, you ought to be too old to cry about dying.
lyrics
Too Old to Die Young
I don't want to leave
Don't want it to pass me by
Don't think I found the answers in a lie
Too old to die young,
Too free to belong to anyone
Too late to be wrong
I know that I can face it
When I think about your rights
I know that I can take it
All the way up to the fight
Too far have I gone
Stepping miles without a smile for anyone
Stand beyond the sun
Too young for not trying
Too old to cry over dying
Staring back is that old setting sun
We'd live for ever in the spring
The summer's moving on, And, every thing
leads back to The Fall
Too old to die young,
Too free to belong to anyone
Too right to be wrong
I don't want to leave
Don't want to pass it by
Don't think I found an answer in a lie
No, I don't think I found it in a lie
Don't you think I found it...
Too free to be wrong,
Too young to hold onto anyone
Too old to die young
Yes, I think I must be too old to die young
Don't you think that I'm...... too old to die young?
I don't want to leave
Don't want it to pass me by
Don't think I found the answers in a lie
Too old to die young,
Too free to belong to anyone
Too late to be wrong
I know that I can face it
When I think about your rights
I know that I can take it
All the way up to the fight
Too far have I gone
Stepping miles without a smile for anyone
Stand beyond the sun
Too young for not trying
Too old to cry over dying
Staring back is that old setting sun
We'd live for ever in the spring
The summer's moving on, And, every thing
leads back to The Fall
Too old to die young,
Too free to belong to anyone
Too right to be wrong
I don't want to leave
Don't want to pass it by
Don't think I found an answer in a lie
No, I don't think I found it in a lie
Don't you think I found it...
Too free to be wrong,
Too young to hold onto anyone
Too old to die young
Yes, I think I must be too old to die young
Don't you think that I'm...... too old to die young?
