Testo Still Young

I woke up inside this house.
You face reminds me of all this,
But it's what you said
That haunts me still.

Oh, my dearest friend,
How have I done this to you again?
As we watch the waves dissipate
All along the shore.

But tonight, let's dance like animals.
We are still young enough
To hope for more.
Let's run like an avalanche
For all the days
We threw away.
We're still young.

The night wraps its arms around me,
It carries me on till the morning.
Have we lost our way?
Have we lost our faith?
The fire in the drive
Will bring my baby home again,
But the dust-laden chest lays bare
For another year.

Silence holds us in its arms.
