lyrics

Only the good die young
Whenever your song is sung
The brightest star will shine
On The Angels calling time
Only the good die young

The Road is long and wide
Philo and Holly ride
Together down to the sea
Forever running free
Gone To catch the rising sun
To feel the wind before its gone
To live for love that never dies
Somewhere in Heavens high
As Philo and Holly ride

Only the good die young
Whenever your song is sung
The brightest star will shine
On The Angels calling time
Only the good die young

You drank your fill and never knew
The days and nights could be so few
Like Vintage bottled wine
You were old before your time
Ride on into the setting sun
Friend and Brother to everyone
This crazy world you leave behind
Always too beautiful to walk the line
Now the angels calling time
