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
