The Finger I Was So Young lyrics

I ran through fields all sown with corn
i saw the beauty in a thorn
i walked on paths of fire and stone
i simply made it on my own
i used to say this too shall pass,
but when i made it to the grass
the wall you lifted was so grand
i crashed and died there so young

i was so young, i tried to live
i had the ace up my sleeve,
and now, no, i'll never know
where i would be, how far i'd go

I ran through valleys filled with oats,
the storm, the healing came on loads,
you reaped the seeds i planted then,
my fields stayed naked at the end.


i was so young, i tried to live
i had the ace up my sleeve,
and now, no, i'll never know
where i would be, how far i'd go

and now, no, i'll never know,
and now, no, i'll never know,
and now, no, i'll never know
i'll never know.

i was so young, i tried to live
i had the ace up my sleeve,
and now, no, i'll never know
where i would be, how far i'd go
