Lyrics Richie Sambora

Richie Sambora

Seven Years Gone

Another change of season

slipping through my life

I can't recall believing

that I'd make it here alive

Steady wind is blowing

the clouds don't look the same

You can't deny the thunder

when you're living through the rain

Like a moth dances with the light

Sometimes a shadow burns too bright

Shattered silence in the night

You wake up, move on

The seven years gone

Seven years gone

Hung up, cold and reeling

Wounded deep inside

Can't find a road to healing

when you're blinded by your pride

The hourglass is broken

Sand is slipping through your hands

While you’re chasing what's been stolen

changes making, making other plans

Like a moth dances with the light

Sometimes a shadow burns too bright

Shattered silence in the night

You wake up, move on

Time’s a train travellin’ way too fast

tearing moments from the past

While today's singing yesterday's song

You grow up, move on

The seven years gone

(solo)

Time, time,

time, time ticking,

time, time ticking away

That's life

it's all about living

taking it day by day

Flying blind, leave it behind

Singing a different song

One day, you're waking up

You're seven years

Seven years gone

Like a moth dances with the light

sometimes a shadow burns too bright

Shattered silence in the night

You wake up, move on

Time’s a train travellin’ way too fast

tearing moments from the past

While today's singing yesterday's song

You’re growing up, holding on

The seven years gone

Seven years gone

Seven years gone

Seven years gone
