I opened the door and I found I was looking at danger;
It's been too many years but we're hiding our faces like strangers;
She says that she's got to gobut there ain't no way;
I'm letting her walk while there's something to say;
It's been too many years,
To watch our hearts die in this way.
She's feeling a time for a seasonal change and she's yearning.
To shake the trees of our love in the streets where the leaves are for
Burning.
All things on this earth were made for the dying;
One look in my soul says there just ain't no use trying.
It's been too many years,
To watch our hearts die in this way.
In an unwritten time I thought that life was for sharing.
And living together was simply a matter of caring;
But things did not work out like I planned.
And alienation has left me here damned.
It's been too many years,
To watch our hearts die in this way.
