only the young

brandon flowers

look back in silence

the cradle of your whole life

there in the distance

losing its greatest pride

nothing is easy

nothing is sacred

why?

where did the bow break?

it happened before your time

and there were people there

lovely as you'd ever care

tonight

baby

you can start again

laughing in the open air

have yourself another dream

tonight

baby

we can start again

only the young can break away

break away

lost when the wind blows

on your own

only the young can break away

break away

lost when the wind blows

on your own

mother

it's cold here

father

thy will be done

thunder and lightning are crashing down

they got me on the run

direct me to the sun

redemption

keep my covers clean tonight

baby

we can start again

only the young can break away

break away

lost when the wind blows

on your own

only the young can break away

break away

lost when the wind blows

on your own

and the sun will shine again

and the sun will shine again

are you looking for a sign?

or are you caught up in the lie?

only the young can break away

break away

lost when the wind blows

on your own

only the young can break away

break away

lost when the wind blows

on your own
