Lost on the Young

Come with me in the southern heat
 Where the mind recalls the fever of a gypsy queen
 Spilling rum from plastic cups
 Getting lit beneath the balconies in the delta sun
 I've known love as a fleeting beauty lost upon the young
 If you saw my mind, hit the high just like I planned it
 Driven low and lost and stranded
 With the fear of another year
 ♪
 You're driving down to my house 'cross town
 Where the floorboards creak, the heatpipes speak
 The walls could shout
 You're looking thin and you look tired
 Wanna do it like we used to but there's no second try
 I've known love as a fleeting beauty lost upon the young
 If you saw my mind, hit the high just like I planned it
 Driven low and lost and stranded
 With the fear of another year
 Of feeling less each day
 ♪
 Have we fallen asleep?
 Drifting in the fog of the American dream
 For a love so true
 It don't scream it don't kick like the television said it should do
