Never Get Old Lyrics

<u>Enya:</u>
[Psalm 91: 11-13]
<i>11 Óir thug sé ordú da aingil i do thaobh
tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir:
12 Iompróidh siad thú lena lámha
sula mbuailfí do chos in aghaidh chloiche.
13 Satlóidh tú ar an leon is ar an nathair:
gheobhaidh tú de chosa sa leon óg is a dragan.</i>*

<u>Sinéad O'Connor:</u>
Young woman with a drink in her hand;
She like to listen to rock and roll...
She moves with the music, 'cause it never gets old;
It's the only thing that never gets old...

Young man in a quiet place - got a hawk on his arm...
He loves that bird - Never does no harm;
It's the only thing that never can do no harm...
Must be the only thing that never can do no harm...

Sun setting on the avenue - everyone walks by;
They live their life under cover,
Being blind;
Ah, being blind;
Oh, being blind...

Cover art for Never Get Old lyrics by Sinead O'Connor

It's a page from her diary, she's talking about her homeland, perspectives on the unique people there, and also a prayer from the Bible that it will all be well.

in every recording i have heard and on the album the poem is Enya and in Gaelic or Welsh, i am unsure...

According to an interview in Uncut, Sinead O'Connor wrote this when she was 16 about a boy she had a crush on. She recalled, "He was this gorgeous guy that all the girls wanted to go out with. I went out with him for like a day and then he sensibly dumped me."

He had a hawk and would let her feed it. "What girl can resist that?"
