Oh young love of mine
She sleeps beneath the brine
And oh the sound the tick
The weighty click of her heart against my spine
Now the dark is nigh
And she lays here at my side
But like a steady squall
Her arms they fall and her legs
They grasp me tight
Oh young love young dear
Why have you taken me in your fall
All of my love all of my life
Given to you sacrificed
Oh my waking world
I leave you for a girl
Cast away into this blight
Swimming blindly through the night
Now my heart is bound
Like a plague upon this sound
And oh it slips away such soft decay
Then it grows
Oh young love young dear
Why have you taken me from the fall
All of my love and all of my life
Given to you sacrificed
Stay clear of the wreckage
She goes down down down
And she burns like the sun
And it all falls away
Take your time and I'll take mine here today
But it cuts like a knife
And we're bound here as the night
It breaks away
And it all goes down
Oh young love young dear
Why have you shaken me from the fall
All of my life all of my days
Given to you cast away
Here's to the war
Here's to the night
All of my love sacrificed
