Forever Young - Janis Ian

Can you see the early morning chill

In the frost that covers this cold hill

Can you hear the high and lonesome sound

Of shovels striking ground

Can you feel the earth begin to move

As though judgment day had come too soon

Can you taste the earth upon her lips

Like one last lover’s kiss

Can you hear the wind begin to howl

Too late, too late to turn back now

And the fiddle plays until it aches

And fills her resting place

Her memory haunts his heart

Her body burned its mark

Her soul has flown from his embrace

No more to fear the dark

Oh jealousy, where is your sting

Who knows the poison fruit you bring

But fools rush in where angels fear

And lose the love they hold most dear

We will watch him riding through the gates

To the prison cell that now awaits

He will never no more see the sun

And she will be forever young

He will never no more see the sun

And she will be forever young
