Long and Wasted Years

It's been such a long, long time
since we loved each other and 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 might have to go to jail someday.
Is there a place we can go?
Is there anybody we can see?
Baby, it's the same for you, as it is for me.
I ain't seen my family in 20 years.
That ain't easy to understand.
They may be dead by now,
I lost track of them after they lost their land.
Shake it up baby, twist and shout,
you know what it's all about.
What you doing out there in the sun anyway?
Don't you know the sun can burn your brains right out?
My enemy crashed into the dust.
Stopped dead in his tracks and he lost his lust.
He was run down hard when he broke apart.
He died in shame, he had an iron heart
I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes.
There're secrets in them that I can't disguise.
Come back baby, if I hurt your feelings, I apologise
Two trains running side by side,
forty miles wide, down the eastern line.
Oh you don't have to go, I just came to you because you're a friend of mine.
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.
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.
