Too Many Years

I opened the door and i found i was looking at danger;

It's been too many years but we're hiding our faces like strangers;

She says that she's got to gobut there ain't no way;

I'm letting her walk while there's something to say;

It's been too many years,

To watch our hearts die in this way.

She's feeling a time for a seasonal change and she's yearning;

To shake the trees of our love in the streets where the leaves are for

Burning;

All things on this earth were made for the dying;

One look in my soul says there just ain't no use trying;

It's been too many years,

To watch our hearts die in this way.

In an unwritten time i thought that life was for sharing;

And living together was simply a matter of caring;

But things did not work out like i planned;

And alienation has left me here damned;

It's been too many years,

To watch our hearts die in this way
