Long and Wasted Years

It's been such a long, long timeSince we loved each other and our hearts were trueOne time, for one brief day, I was the man for youLast night I heard you talking in your sleepSaying things you shouldn't sayOh baby, you just might have to go to jail somedayIs there a place we can go?Is there anybody we can see?Maybe, it's the same for you as it is for meI ain't seen my family in twenty- yearsThat ain't easy to understandThey may be dead by nowI lost track of them after they lost their landShake it up baby twist and shoutYou know what it's all aboutWhat you doing out there in the sun anywayDon't you know the sun can burn your brains right outMy enemy crashed into the dustStopped in dead his tracks and he lost his lustHe was run down hard and he broke apartHe died in shame he had a iron heartI wear dark glasses to cover my eyesThere are secrets in them I cant disguiseCome back baby if I ever hurt your feelings I apologizeTwo trains running by side sideForty miles wide, down the eastern lineYou don't have to go I just came to you cause your a friend of mineI think that when my back was turnedThe whole world behind me burnedIt's been awhile since we walked down that long, long isleWe cried on that cold and frosty mornWe cried because our souls were tornSo much for tears, so much for these long and wasted years
