Nomeansno - Youth lyrics

Your rating:


Youth, I see 

In your heart the red blood flows 

Down like a river to the sea it goes 

Youth, I see 

Through all the trouble, the work and pain 

You laugh like a child in a warm spring rain 

Youth, I See 



From the heavens the moon looks down 

And the lapping of the tide is the only sound 

The jungle lurks where the firelight fades 

The stars are swimming in a moonlit bay 

Women cry in their native tongue 

Singing of the days when they were young 

Hear the black eyed women pray 

For all their lovers who have sailed away 

On the altar the incense burns 

For all the men who will never return 



Youth, I see

Muscles ripple across your back  

As you grab the rope and hold it fast  

Youth, I see  

Laughing faces at the end of the day  

Hands that clap as the music plays  

Youth, I See 



See the temple on the hill above 

A black bird circling a nesting dove 



See the monks in their crimson robes 

Walking single file down a dusty road 

In the market the hawkers sing 

Of aromatic spice and copper rings 

Dice are thrown and rattling fall 

At the feet of the soldiers on er) ancient wall 

And the bones of those who climbed and died 

Lie gleaming in the sand on the other side 



See all of them dream 



Youth, I see 

A clear horizon the colour of lead 

The sea is green like a blanket spread 

Over thee 

On the sheltering shore the breezes sing 

But here the wind like a big bell rings 

Over thee 



A white-haired King with a withered hand 

Bowed to the youth from a foreign land 

Behind the curtains a young girl sighed 

Basking in the light of his deep, blue eyes 

The King decreed that the youth should know 

Alt the secrets of his treasure trove 

But never again would he roam free 

From that kingdom he would never leave 

The young man looked, the young man learned 

And never to his home did he return 



See all of them dream
