(by J. Kaukonen)
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
