Seven Years

(album: Guaranteed - 1991)

There's thunder rolling in your eyes
it's raining in your heart
what lies around the corner
you have seen an hundred times
but you never thought anything like it would happen to you
baby's gone
he walked out on you

Seven years have come and gone
all that time for you
and now both our hearts must beat the drum
to a different tune
send all those dreams away baby

You can lose yourself in yourself
hurt yourself a little more
turn the key and hate the boy
forget a soul in distress, leave the real world to others
that's not the way he's coming back ever again
baby's gone
now what are you gonna do

Seven years have come and gone
all that time for you
and now both our hearts must beat the drum
to a different tune
send all those dreams away baby

Each time I see a love, a love that's dying
I know what I would do, I know what I would do
but you can't see 'cause your heart is the way girl you're blinded
and its hurting so bad, and its hurting so bad
he's so gone, gone away and you can't find him
was there ever a day, just one day you were happy
believe in the power of love everlasting
to the end of all time, to the end of all time

In a funny way I don't feel sorry, you're getting what you served
just you remember very well the lesson you have learned
and its August now, your seven years are gone
all that time for you

Send all those dreams away baby
