Janis Ian Forever Young Lyrics

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 mem'ry 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
