Wasted Years

From the coast of gold
Across the seven seas
I'm travelling on
Far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself

I close my eyes
And think of home
Another city goes by
In the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it till it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day

So understand

Don't waste your time away searching for those wasted years
Face up and make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't kill this pain
So easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it to another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

So understand

Don't waste your time away searching for those wasted years
Face up and make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years

So understand

Don't waste your time away searching for those wasted years
Face up and make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years
