Jefferson Airplane - Too Many Years lyrics

rate me

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 go but 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 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

A look in my soul says, it just ain't no use trying

It's been too many years

To watch our hearts die 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 this way
