lyrics

Don’t Be Seventeen

Don’t be seventeen again my love
‘cause we couldn’t find our way back then
And the current’s still too strong

Don’t be leaving home again my love
‘cause we couldn’t sail that sea again
With winter coming on

I tried to make it right but I can’t save this situation
It makes no sense to fight against the time and tide and motion

The higher is our kite, the easier to let it go
The brighter is our light, the darker grow the shadows

So don’t be drawing plans on me my love
Echoes twisting, smoke and air
Just whispers in the wind

So yes I could feel that way again
But we let too many pieces drift away
And they’re not coming back
