the women are a-weeping
for their blue eyed son
yeah the men are all beaten
'cos their day is done
hey you were out on the highway
with the stars in your eyes
singing alas alas alas
we were too young to die
too young to die
the sky is blue and purple
and the moon is proud
hey and in the churchyard
they are whisperin'
beneath the ground
hey you were out on the highway
with the stars in your eyes
singing 'alas alas alas
we were too young to die too young
be good to yourself
be good to your heart
be good to yourself
love with your heart
reach out in life
reach out in death
and don't will be your requiem
well if you had the world at your feet
if you had the love that you seek
sayin' we are the stars we are the sky
too young too young
for their blue eyed son
yeah the men are all beaten
'cos their day is done
hey you were out on the highway
with the stars in your eyes
singing alas alas alas
we were too young to die
too young to die
the sky is blue and purple
and the moon is proud
hey and in the churchyard
they are whisperin'
beneath the ground
hey you were out on the highway
with the stars in your eyes
singing 'alas alas alas
we were too young to die too young
be good to yourself
be good to your heart
be good to yourself
love with your heart
reach out in life
reach out in death
and don't will be your requiem
well if you had the world at your feet
if you had the love that you seek
sayin' we are the stars we are the sky
too young too young
