Youth went a wooing

Fleet of the feet

Ran the horizons

Living his life out for love

Never knowing how fast

They could meet



All too soon it was over

Gone in a flash

Wilted and withered

Limping away out of love

Out of time out of life at a dash



It won't be long now

Before all the skies

Come circling overhead

Waiting for godot

With ravenous cries



For summer is fading

Here come the storms

The mirror's got misty

Crying my heart out for love

As I lie in the last of her arms



So let us be gentle

Especially with us

Share all our moments

Treasure the pleasure of love

As we fathom uncertain because



It won't be long now

Before all the skies

Come circling overhead

Waiting for godot

With ravenous cries
