Young Enough to Cry

Please don't barter with the gold in my heart,

Don't make me swallow the salt in my tears.

If you're looking for someone to rip apart,

Pick someone else ripe, in their younger years.


For Heaven sakes and all the Saints above,

Like the band, "Triumph," sings from clouds on high.

Maybe too old to get hurt in love, Baby,

But, I'm still young enough...young enough to cry!
