Lyrics

[Verse 1] Each manner of man Whatever his age Can reach for the stars Yet burnish with rage To walk through the fields To gather the flowers At nature's request Whatever the hours [Chorus 1] Whenever the sun shall raise a stain To glisten the dew with a golden caress To pleasure the earth with the warmth of its rays Like a young girl's new dress Like a young girl's new dress [Verse 2] Each manner of woman Shall wear a disguise To measure the man With steel in her eyes In offering comfort The traveler within May quicken the pace The nature of sin [Chorus 2] Whenever the dream shall seem in vain The sparkle of stars doth most certain impress To flatter the heart with the power of praise Of a young man's success Of a young man's success [Verse 3] Each manner of god Can transcend belief The jewel in the crown In the eyes of a thief An item so precious Obsession is fear But mercy is finite The judgement severe [Chorus 3] If ever the doubt shall still remain The days gather pace like a mighty express Reminding us all to reflect on our ways Nothing more, nothing more Nothing more, nothing less Nothing more, nothing less Nothing more, nothing less Nothing more, nothing less
