about

a long time live favourite

lyrics

young men die, young men grow old
and young men were once little babies
and the young men laugh and the old men cry
and the trees shed their leaves in the forest

young girls become women, women become old maids
and old maids were once little babies
and the babies grow, kiss their mamas goodbye
and the trees shed their leaves in the forest

lay down your money
lay down your life
lay down your lover
beside you
and whisper the vows
like a husband and wife
under the trees
in the forest

and the children run wild, the flower of their youth
while they are still little babies
and they’ll say anything you put in their mouths
and the trees shed their leaves in the forest

lay down your money…………

and sometimes the best are cut down in their prime
before they can have little babies
take just what you need, make the best of your time
while the trees shed their leaves in the forest

lay down your money……..
