Long And Wasted Years

It's been such a long long time

Since we loved each other and our hearts were true

One time, for one brief day,

I was the man for you

Last night I heard you talkin' in your sleep

Saying things you shouldn't say,

Oh, baby

You just may have to go to jail someday

Is there a place we can go,

Is there anybody we can see?

Maybe,

It's the same for you as it is for me

I ain't seen my family in twenty years

That ain't easy to understand, they may be dead by now

I lost track of 'em after they lost their land

Shake it up baby, twist and shout

You know what it's all about

What are you doing out there in the sun anyway?

Don't you know, the sun can burn your brains right out

My enemy crashed into the dust

Stopped dead in his tracks and he lost his lust

He was run down hard and he broke apart

He died in shame, he had an iron heart

I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes

There are secrets in em that I can't disguise

Come back baby

If I hurt your feelings, I apologize

Two trains running side by side, forty miles wide

down the eastern line

you don't have to go,

I just came to you because you're a friend of mine

I think that when my back was turned,

The whole world behind me burned

It's been a while,

Since we walked down that long, long aisle

We cried on a cold and frosty morn,

We cried because our souls were torn

So much for tears

So much for these long and wasted years.
