Never Get Old Lyrics

"God commanded His angels concerning you
To guard you in all your ways.
They will lift you up in their arms
To keep you from striking your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra
You will trample the great lion and the serpent."

Young woman with a drink in her hand
She like to listen to rock and roll
She moves with the music
'Cause it never gets old
It's the only thing
That never gets old

Young man in a quiet place
Got a hawk on his arm
He loves that bird
Never does no harm
It's the only thing
That never can do no harm
Must be the only thing
That never can do no harm

Sun setting on the avenue
Everyone walks by
They live their life under cover
Being blind
Being blind
Being blind

Never Get Old Song Chart

Sinead O'Connor wrote this when she was 16 about a boy she had a crush on at school. She recalled to Uncut: "He was this gorgeous guy that all the girls wanted to go out with. I went out with him for like a day and then he sensibly dumped me. Mainly I look back at it and I think ' gosh, I was a kid.'"

The song is a track from O'Connor's debut album The Lion and the Cobra. The title of the LP is from Psalm 91:13 "you will tread upon the lion and cobra," and this song opens with an Irish language recital of Psalm 91 by singer Enya.
