«Young Man»

Tekst: Morten Omlid, Jostein Forsberg Musikk: Morten Omlid, Jostein Forsberg

When I was a young man
Just about 17
Got myself a guitar and
I started to sing
Growing up by the river
Of a knockabout factory town
My eyes fell on you and
How you spread your light around

I want you
More than a friend
You must be heaven sent

I took a factory job
As soon as I got out of school
Signed up with the union
Young but no damn fool
All week long
Days without no end
Working for the man and
Waiting for the weekend

I want you
More than a friend
You must be heaven sent
I want you
More than a friend
You must be heaven sent

Shake and shimmy
Night til dawn
Oopin’ and a hollerin’
Carrying on
My eyes fell on you and
How you spread your light around
Let me love you baby
Til the stars fall down

It ain’t easy to make it in a town
Laughing to keep from crying
Hiding when you’re down
Still a young man
With swagger and sway
You were sweet sixteen and
I gave my heart away

Solo

You came along
When I needed someone
My heart of stone
Gone gone gone
The power of love
Don’t pretend
I’ll follow you past
Where all the road maps end

I want you
More than a friend
You must be heaven sent
I want you
More than a friend
You must be heaven sent
