Too much too young too soon
The wise man thought he kept his cool
Too much too little too late
When standing at the Devil's gate
I saw a young man with love in his arms
And a pretty girl who fell for his charms
Straight in front of him a well worn path
With the lights and the dreams and deathly traps
And I'm wondering
Will he die wondering
The other guy kept his clothing clean
Kept a shrewd head on but forget to dream
There beside him was a blushing bride
But behind her eyes too much to hide
Straight in front of him another way
Just another dollar another day
The house of cards comes crashing down
And all you see are the tears of a clown
And I'm wondering
Will he die wondering
Will he die wondering
Will he die wondering
Rain falls and the angels call you into the sea
And time nor tide will not wait for me
And I'm wondering
Will he die wondering
Will he die wondering
Years pass and they're lying there
With the grey in their eyes and the deathly stare
There they think about where they've gone
Of all the ways that they went wrong
Did they live did they see the world
Did they do everything that they possibly could
A little late now the story ends
They won't be back this way again
And I'm wondering
Will they die wondering
Will they die wondering
Will they die wondering
And rain falls and the angels call you into the sea
And time nor tide will not wait for me
I won't die wondering
I won't die wondering
I won't die wondering
I won't die wondering
