Golden Years Lyrics

Morning fades to the afternoon

I waste these evenings alone sitting next to you

Friday comes and she goes again

I watch the hours fall out of my weekend

I find that all my time, my time is sold

My eyes are worn in the mirror by an older man

I try and mine these years for the gold

Can I take them back again

I'll take them back again

My mind grows quiet after two or three

Triple filtered, distilled till eternity

Seven days try to turn the page

Of this book I own but I never read

I find that all my time, my time is sold

My eyes are worn in the mirror by an older man

I try and mine these years for the gold

Can I take them back again

I'll take them back again

My chest is filled with troubled water

I'm drowning in my bed

I never seem to find my sleep from all the knocking in my head

Worry's just a passing ship

That's come back round again

I don't know if I feel any better

I hear home is a different place

I guess seven years it can change a face

Life ain't nothing without a hand to hold

Someone to keep you young when you're getting old

I find that all my time, my time is sold

My eyes are worn in the mirror by an older man

I try and mine these years for the gold

Can I take them back again

I'll take them back again

I'll take them back again

I'll take them back again

I'll take them back again
