Текст песни Seven Years - Curtis Mayfield

Seven years
Remember when, you became my loving friend
Never forget that wonderful day
Twas early spring, the 1st of May
Everybody was so along, though I never meant you no harm
I was just so in love with you, and I thought you loved me too

Seven years, now I find
It was just a waste of time

Always been so alone, and I've yet to take you home
You stand there undecided, while your friends keep us divided
You're like a long slow freight, and no longer shall I wait
I find it isn't fair, when there's only one who cares
Should have been gone away so long, but I'm still here hanging on

Seven years here in a vice
And there's nothing yet precise
I got the girl I've waited for
She's just a wife and nothing more
I hate the sour call of my name
What a shame, you cannot blame
I was just so in love with you, and I thought you loved me too

Seven years, now I find
It was just a waste of time

Seven years
Seven years
I've cried a lot of tears
Having hard times, hard times
