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
