Too Many Years

well, I opened the door

And I found I was looking at danger

Well, it's been so 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

Too many years

Just 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

Too many years

Just to watch our hearts die in this way

In an unwritten time

I thought that life was for sharing

When I'm living together

Was simply a matter of caring

But things did not

Work out like I planned

And alien nation has

Left me here damned

Too many years

Just to watch our hearts die and

Too many years

Just to watch our hearts die and

Well, it's too many years

Just to watch our hearts die in this way
