[Verse 1]
Send your youth into the night
Let it kill, let it kill what you know isn't right
Take my hand, I'll show you how
To kill a good man
[Chorus]
I turned my heart to the All High Head
Said, "Oh, Higher High, will you make my bed?"
Oh my Lord, will you take my claim?
This February child was made for the spring
[Verse 2]
He took my hand, yeah, he took my hand
Showed me how to keep a good man
Said, "Oh, my darling, leave it to good time to decide
What is born and what is left to die"
[Chorus]
I turned my heart to the All High Head
Said, "Oh, Higher High, will you make my bed?"
Oh my Lord, will you take my claim?
This February child was made for the spring
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey now if you ready these eyes
For the big, big sleep
You know, I'd want a good man
To stay with me
[Verse 4]
Hey, hey now, if you bury this dream
This hunger, this hunger, I know it ain't clean
I sent my youth into the night
I let it kill, Iet it kill what I knew wasn't right
[Verse 5]
He took my hand, yeah, he took my hand
Showed me how to keep a good man
[Bridge]
I'll be waiting
Oh, I'll be waiting
Oh, I'll be waiting
[Chorus]
I turned my heart to the All High Head
Said, "Oh, Higher High, will you make my bed?"
Oh my Lord, will you take my claim?
This February child was made for the spring
