Wasted Years

Wasted Years 

Heard the Ryan Adams unplugged edition last night on Californication and really enjoyed it. Only after googling it did I realize it was a cover of the Iron Maiden track that I used to listen to.

The same songs always catch you no matter the style or singer..................

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas, 
I'm travelling on, far and wide, 
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself, 
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else. 

I close my eyes, and think of home, 
Another city goes by, in the night, 
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away, 
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day. 

Chorus: 
So understand 
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, 
Face up... make your stand, 
And realise you're living in the golden years. 

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind, 
Can't ease this pain, so easily, 
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day, 
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky. 

Chorus: 
So understand 
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, 
Face up... make your stand, 
And realise you're living in the golden years.
