Lyrics
After All These Years
Words and music by Robert Marsh
Copyright ©2005 Robert Marsh
VERSE ONE:
It seems to me reality is colder than a stone
But I?m crying, crying after all these years
Scars and tears throughout the years have left me on my own
But I?m trying, trying after all these years
MIDDLE EIGHT:
I always want what I haven?t got
It seems to be passing me by
An open mind is the way to find
I wanna live before I die
VERSE TWO:
It?s easy to see love?s a breeze
The eyes of me won?t be able to see
But I?m trying, trying after all these years
VERSE THREE: INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT MIDDLE EIGHT AND VERSE TWO
VERSE FOUR:
Words you say blow your heart away
Forgetting the pain of another day
And you?re crying, crying after all these years0
