I lit a smoke and took a walk Just as the stars began to spark I told myself don't we all Learn about winter, learn to fall I see lovers in the rain Stepping on and off of trains Just waiting there like baggage claims Hoping someone says their name Honey when are you coming home? I don't do so well alone We lost ourselves inside the snow Of where you start and where you go All the graveyards on the rue And all the shit I put you through If only half of it was true I'd reach across, I'd reach right through We're too young I don't ever want to die Why do newborn babies cry? Ask an orphan he knows why They say the world is what you see And what it was will never be At least not for the one's like you and me Who lit a match and still couldn't see I'm going down where trouble drowns By the harbour and the sound Where the bright light of music's found Back to what first brought me round 'Cause we're too young I don't ever want to die Why do newborn babies cry? Ask an orphan he knows why Yeah we're too young I don't ever want you to die Why do newborn babies cry? Ask a widow she knows why
