Joseph Arthur - It's Ok to Be Young/Gone lyrics

She puts her dust under your fingers And plays your strings And moves with lust in the shadows Of empty kings She says, "You lack imagination" You dream her there She lifts your heart up like a candle Burning near It's ok to be young Before long You'll be gone You'll be gone It's ok to be gone Before long You'll be young You'll be young She's like the nighttime always bleeding Into the light And like the love you always need now To be right She says, "Give up now surrender" With empty hands You hold them up over your shoulder As she commands It's ok to be young Before long You'll be gone You'll be gone It's ok to be gone Before long You'll be young You'll be young It's ok to be young Before long You'll be gone You'll be gone It's ok to be gone Before long You'll be young You'll be young She says, "You lack imagination" (x4)
