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 go But 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 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 A look in my soul says It just ain't no use trying It's been too many years To watch our hearts die 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 this way
