Lyrics

[00:30.000] Caught in the middle
[00:34.000] Carol we're middle class
[00:36.000] We're middle aged
[00:38.000] We were wild in the old days
[00:41.000] Birth of rock 'n' roll days
[00:47.000] Now your kids are coming up straight
[00:51.000] And my child's a stranger
[00:54.000] I bore her
[00:57.000] But I could not raise her
[01:00.000] Nothing lasts for long
[01:04.000] Nothing lasts for long
[01:08.000] Nothing lasts for long
[01:13.000] Down at the Chinese Café
[01:16.000] We'd be dreaming on our dimes
[01:20.000] We'd be playing "Oh my love, my darling"
[01:28.000] One more time “
[01:45.000] Uranium money
[01:47.000] Is booming in the old home town now
[01:51.000] It's putting up sleek concrete
[01:55.000] Tearing the old landmarks down now
[01:59.000] Paving over brave little parks
[02:03.000] Ripping off Indian land again
[02:07.000] How long how long
[02:12.000] Short sighted business men
[02:15.000] Ah nothing lasts for long
[02:18.000] Nothing lasts for long
[02:22.000] Nothing lasts for long
[02:26.000] Down at the Chinese Café
[02:29.000] We'd be dreaming on our dimes
[02:33.000] We'd be playing "You give your love, so sweetly"
[02:41.000] One more time “
[02:57.000] Christmas is sparkling
[03:00.000] Out on Carol's lawn
[03:03.000] This girl of my childhood games
[03:07.000] With kids nearly grown and gone
[03:11.000] Grown so fast
[03:15.000] Like the turn of a page
[03:20.000] We look like our mothers did now
[03:24.000] When we were those kids' age
[03:29.000] Nothing lasts for long
[03:32.000] Nothing lasts for long
[03:35.000] Nothing lasts for long
[03:39.000] Down at the Chinese Café
[03:43.000] We'd be dreaming on our dimes
[03:46.000] We'd be playing
[03:48.000] “Oh my love, my darling “
[03:52.000] I've hungered for your touch
[03:56.000] A long lonely time
[04:03.000] And time goes by so slowly
[04:06.000] And time can do so much
[04:11.000] Are you still mine?
[04:17.000] I need your love
[04:22.000] I need your love
[04:26.000] God speed your love to me"
[04:30.000]
