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 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 in dead his tracks
and he lost his lust
He was run down hard
and he broke apart
He died in shame he
had a iron heart
I wear dark glasses
to cover my eyes
there are secrets in them
I cant 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
'cause your a friend of mine
I think that when my
back was turned
the whole world behind me burned
it's been a while since
we walked down that long
long isle
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
