One for the Road Lyrics

No I never knew you
We both went to different schools
Me so scared of the rules
You chasing all the girls
But it seems to me
We never grew up we just got ourselves free
Inventing what we could be
To buy all their curls.

Get up and dance - get up and smile
Get up and drink to the days
That are gone in the shortest while.

She was just eighteen she collapsed and they took her away
She didnt make it for more than an hour
Then she was gone
What do you say when someones been taken that way
Before they've had a day to fly in the sun.

Get up and dance - get up and smile
Get up and drink to the days
That are gone in the shortest while.

I sing my sorrow.
