From the coast of gold, across the seven seas I'm travelin' 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 I think of home Another city goes by in the night, ain't it funny how it ends You never miss if til' it's gone away And my heart is lying there and will be til' my dying day So understand, don't waste your time Always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand And realize you're living in the golden years Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind I can't ease this pain, so easily, and I 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 So understand, don't waste your time Always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand And realize you're living in the golden years So understand, don't waste your time Always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand And realize you're living in the golden years
