Wasted Years

Adrian Smith

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
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 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 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 wanna 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
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
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
