Lyrics

Eternal Youth
Words and Music by David Elias

I cannot condemn you nor can I deny
I cannot defend you nor can I rely
I cannot confirm you nor will I reply
I may well not learn to weather with this tide
I may not weather with this tide

What may well not concern you
It may before too long
The world may overturn you
And kill you when you’re strong
Those truths you could confide in
They dissipate with years
And hide with youth and beauty
Congregated fears
Nothing but congregated fears

Here we are again in the land of the heartbroken
Here we stand again, the land of the heartbroken
In my eye I see the land of the heartbroken
This time it is me

There you go again to the land of the heartbroken
Up the icy stairs
In the single truth in the land of the heartbroken
Eternal youth

What may well not concern you
It may before too long
The world may overturn you
And kill you when you’re strong
Those truths you could confide in
They dissipate with years
And hide with youth and beauty
Congregated fears
Nothing but congregated fears
