The women are a-weeping
For their blue-eyed son
The men are all beaten

'Cos their day is done

You were out on the highway

With the stars in your eyes
Just saying 'alas alas alas
We were too young to die

Too young'

The sky is blue and purple

And the moon is proud
And in the churchyard they are whisperin'
Beneath the ground


You were out on the highway
With the stars in your eyes

Singing 'alas alas alas
We were too young to die
Too young'


Be good to yourself
Be good to your heart

Be good to yourself
Love with your heart
Reach out in life

Reach out in death
And love will be your requiem


Well if you had the world at your feet
If you had the love that you seek
We are the stars we are the sky...

We're too young
Too young
