well, I opened the door
And I found I was looking at danger
Well, it's been so many years
But we're hiding our faces like strangers

She says that she's got to go
But there ain't no way
I'm letting her walk
While there's something to say

Too many years
Just 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

Too many years
Just to watch our hearts die in this way

In an unwritten time
I thought that life was for sharing
When I'm living together
Was simply a matter of caring

But things did not
Work out like I planned
And alien nation has
Left me here damned

Too many years
Just to watch our hearts die and
Too many years
Just to watch our hearts die and
Well, it's too many years
Just to watch our hearts die in this way
