from the coast of gold

across the seven seas

i'm traveling on far and wide

but now it seems i'm just

a stranger to myself

and all the things i sometimes

do it isn't me but someone else

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 til it's gone away

and my heart is lying there

and will be til my dying day

so understand

don't waste your time always

searching for those wasted years

face up 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 ease this pain so easily

when you can't find the

words to say it's hard to

make it through another day

and it makes me want to cry and

throw my hands up to the sky

so understand

don't waste your time always

searching for those wasted years

face up make your stand

and realize you're living

in the golden years

so understand

dont waste your time always

searching for those wasted years

face up make your stand

and realise youre living in

the golden years

so understand

dont waste your time always

searching for those wasted years
