Long and Wasted Years

Long and Wasted Years - Bob Dylan

Written by：Bob Dylan

It's been such a long long time

Since we loved each other and our hearts were true

One time for one brief day

I was the man for you

Last night I heard you talking in your sleep

Saying things you shouldn't say

Oh baby

You just might have to go to jail someday

Is there a place we can go

Is there anybody we can see

Maybe it's the same for you as it is for me

I ain't seen my family in twenty years

That ain't easy to understand

They may be dead by now

I lost track of them after they lost their land

Shake it up baby twist and shout

You know what it's all about

What are you doing out there in the sun anyway

Don't you know the sun can burn your brains right out

My enemy crashed into the dust

Stopped dead in his tracks and he lost his lust

He was run down hard and he broke apart

He died in shame he had an iron heart

I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes

There are secrets in them I can't disguise

Come back baby if I ever hurt your feelings I apologize

Two trains running side by side

Forty miles wide

Down the eastern line

You don't have to go

I just came to you because your a friend of mine

I think that when my back was turned

The whole world behind me burned

It's been awhile since we walked down that long long aisle

We cried on that cold and frosty morn

We cried because our souls were torn

So much for tears

So much for these long and wasted years
