Long and Wasted Years

[Verse 1] It's been such a long long time Since we loved each other when 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 may have to go to jail someday [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Verse 7] 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 [Verse 8] 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
