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 go
|
but 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 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
|
a look in my soul says
|
it just ain't no use trying
|
|
It's been too many years
|
to watch our hearts die 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 this way
