Too many years

I opened the door and i found i was looking at danger
It's been too many years but we're hiding our faces like strangers
She says that she's got to gobut there ain't no way
I'm letting her walk while there's something to say
It's been too many years,
To watch our hearts die in this way.
She's feeling a time for a seasonal change and she's yearning
To shake the trees of our love in the streets where the leaves are for
Burning
All things on this earth were made for the dying
One look in my soul says there just ain't no use trying
It's been too many years,
To watch our hearts die in this way.
In an unwritten time i thought that life was for sharing
And living together was simply a matter of caring
But things did not work out like i planned
And alienation has left me here damned
It's been too many years,
To watch our hearts die in this way
