Years Go By Lyrics

She gets up in the afternoon
The sun will set behind her
When the twilight comes
The magic one, will gaze on you

Seconds last for hours all evening
This purple room is breathing
To the milky way I turn my gaze
It's a mystery

Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind
One thing to be sure of is we live and die

Fear and doubt no longer harbour lies
Love not grow old where we reside
`tis enough for now to set you down
And gaze on you

Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind
One thing to be sure of is we live and die

Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind
One thing to be sure of is we live and die
go by... years go by... years go by.....

years go by - in a flash of an eye!
years go by.... years go by...

Cover art for Years Go By lyrics by Split Enz

It deals with how quickly time flies, perhaps wondering at how a girl he briefly meets (see verse 1) is doing now. But generally, the song deals with the idea that you can always change or remedy bad decisions, as the only certainty in life is "that we live and die".
