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 talking in your sleep
|
Saying things you shouldn't say
|
Oh baby, you just might 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 them after they lost their land
|
|
Shake it up baby twist and shout
|
You know what it's all about
|
What 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 in dead his tracks and he lost his lust
|
He was run down hard and he broke apart
|
He died in shame he had a iron heart
|
|
I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes
|
There are secrets in them I cant disguise
|
Come back baby if I ever hurt your feelings I apologize
|
|
Two trains running by side side
|
Forty miles wide, down the eastern line
|
You don't have to go I just came to you cause your a friend of mine
|
|
I think that when my back was turned
|
The whole world behind me burned
|
It's been awhile since we walked down that long, long isle
|
|
We cried on that cold and frosty morn
|
We cried because our souls were torn
|
So much for tears, so much for these long and wasted years
|
