In my memory's eye
The way things used to be
Tho I can still feel the pain
We wuz so wild and free
Funny it don't mean a thing
Done got caught up, baby can't you see?
One day I'm gonna be sittin' on the mountain
Right now, that mountain's sittin' on me
So I said, Lady on the TV
You are such a fine young thing
(You are such a fine young thing)
But I said can't nobody (can't nobody)
Take me by my hand
(Can't nobody take me by my hand)
It's closing time
In my heart and mind
Gone is the love just like the years we left so far behind
It's closing time
The years ain't been kind
Gone is the love just like the years we left so far behind
In my memory's eye
Lookin' on twenty years
Is it two or multitudes gone on, decades in fear?
Funny it don't mean a thing
Cuz I started out on season three
And down inside can't no one try to hold no chains on me
So I said, Lady on the TV
You are such a fine young thing
(You are such a fine young thing)
But I said can't nobody (can't nobody)
Take me by my hand
(Can't nobody take me by my hand)
It's closing time
In my heart and mind
Gone is the love just like the years we left so far behind
It's closing time
The years ain't been kind
Gone is the love just like the years we left so far behind
