[Verse 1]
I opened the door and I found I was looking at danger
Well, 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

[Chorus]
Too many years
Just to watch our hearts dying this way

[Verse 2]
She's feeling a time for a seasonal change and she's yearning
To shake the trees of our lives 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 ain't much use trying

[Chorus]
Too many years
Just to watch our hearts dying this way

[Verse 3]
Well, in an unwritten time, thought that life was for sharing
When living together was simply a matter of caring
But things did not work out like I planned
And alienation has left me here damned
[Chorus]
Too many years
Just to [?]
Too many years
Just to feel our hearts now
Well it's too many years
Just to watch our hearts dying this way
