|
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? |
|
Maybe, it's the same for you as it is for me |
|
I ain't seen my family in twenty 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 are 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 and he broke apart |
|
He died in shame he had an iron heart |
|
I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes |
|
There are secrets in them I can't disguise |
|
Come back baby if I ever hurt your feelings I apologize |
|
Two trains running side by side |
|
Forty miles wide, down the eastern line |
|
You don't have to go |
|
I just came to you because your a friend of mine |
|
I think that when my back was turned |
|
The whole world behind me burned |
|
It's been awhile since we walked down that long, long aisle |
|
We cried on that cold and frosty morn |
|
We cried because our souls were torn |
|
So much for tears, so much for these long and wasted years |
