[Verse 1]
Started out alright
But it only gets worse every day
My mind is sharp
Enough to see that you're slippin' away
I once was strong
Could stand on my own two feet
Should-a heard me sing
But now I can barely speak

[Pre-Chorus]
This is what you get for tryin'

[Chorus]
Days are so long and the nights never seem to end
I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend
With you, my friend

[Verse 2]
We were born so old
We just didn't know it yet
How could we see
It was as good as it was gonna get
Right here, right now
The words I want are buried deep
I can't tell you how
You give me everything that I need
[Pre-Chorus]
This is what you get for tryin'

[Chorus]
Days are so long and the nights never seem to end
I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend

[Bridge]
Walk a hundred miles just to trample the dust
Knowin' that I know you're right
You could sit by the fire of the bridges you've burned
Doesn't keep you warm at night
Doesn't keep you warm at night

[Chorus]
Days are so long and the nights never seem to end
I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend
