Days Are So Long

Started out alright
But it only gets worse every day
My mind is sharp
Enough to see that you're slipping away
I once was strong
Could stand on my own two feet
Should-a heard me sing
But now I can barely speak

This is what you get for trying

Days are so long and the nights never seem to end
I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend
With you, my friend

We were born so old
We just didn't know it yet
How could we see
It was as good as it was gonna get
Right here, right now
The words I want are buried deep
I can't tell you how
You give me everything that I need

This is what you get for trying

Days are so long and the nights never seem to end
I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend

Walk a hundred miles just to trample the dust
Knowing that I know you're right
You could sit by the fire of the bridges you've burned
Doesn't keep you warm at night
Doesn't keep you warm at night

Days are so long and the nights never seem to end
I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend
With you, my friend
