tell me how the years go by

its been a long long time

tell me how your plans fell through

and how you changed your mind



tell me 'bout the hearts you broke

how many have you known

tell me how the years went by

and left you all alone



tell me dear

i want to hear

'bout the lost and wasted years

tell me when now tell me why

tell me how the years go by



Tell me how the years go by

like borrowed dancing shoes

that gather dust beneath your ned

mislaid and seldom used

like a heart that haunts a phone booth

on a corner far from home

tell me how the years went by and left you

all alone



close your eyes

tell me what do you see

its an imperfect world

still we dream perfect dreams

its no big surprise when we're down on our knees

truth isn't always what we will believe.



tell me how the years go by

in seasons at your door

and how the things you left me for

dont matter anymore

tell me how the more we learn

the more we leave unknown

tell me how the years went by and left you

all alone

Alone



close your eyes (X3)
