Never Die Young

James Taylor - Never Die Young

They were ring-around-the-rosy children
They were circles around the sun
Never give up, never slow down
Never grow old, never ever die young

Synchronized with the rising moon
Even with the evening star
They were true love written in stone
They were never alone, they were never that far apart

And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it
We got to close our eyes
Cut up our losses into doable doses
Ration our tears and sighs

You could see them on the street on a Saturday night
Everyone used to run them down
"They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight
Not enough tough for this town"

We couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole
No, it didn't seem to rattle at all
They were glued together body and soul
That much more with their backs up against the wall

Oh, hold them up, hold them up
Never to let them fall
prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin
that names us and claims us and shames us all

I guess it had to happen someday soon
wasn't nothing to hold them down
They would rise from among us like a big baloon
Take the sky, forsake the ground

Oh, yes, other hearts were broken
Yeah, other dreams ran dry
But our golden ones sail on, sail on
To another land beneath another sky

Why dont you put all your favorite songs on one post? saves taken up all the new post spaces!

Is there a limit to the board's capacity? I would figure that several small posts would take up just as many kilobytes as one big, mushed-together post

It is just annoying when you go to look at newpost option that you have to turn the page 1 - 3 times to find other people other than just you!

I'll post further songs in the songs thread. It's my day off and I just found this forum. Perhaps you could give me a break. I apologize that you had to go to the trouble of clicking your mouse button more than twice.
