Letra de «The Years Go Down»
I was lying on the inside
All snuggled safe and warm
Now I'm crying on the outside 'cuz all my keys won't fit the door
I'd survive in sunny weather
A little rainfall now and then
But I can't abide this endless desert storm of dry bones, sand, and wind
And so I say, I don't know why, I don't know why The years go down, the years turn 'round And now it's comin' down it's comin' down again Was I ever on the inside?
Time was on my side for so long 'Til it said so long to me Then it fled and left for dead this dying body on some dead man's property Did I fall down on the first round? Will I get up for the last? Too many choices wrong and oh so long forgotten buried deep inside my little shallow past
What can I say? I don't know why, I don't know why (deep water stranded high and dry) The years go down, the years turn 'round And now it's comin' down it's comin' 'round again I looked happy on the outside To the world, to the world, say it again The years go down, the years turn 'round And now it's comin' down it's comin' down again I was happy on the outside To the world, to the world, to the world
I realize I'm outside Every day, every night Will I ever get it right? I realize You're inside You and me, could it be I'm set free
I realize I'm outside Clinging to the past My world is dying and I keep on crying watching every precious day go right on past And so I say I don't know why, I don't know why Everybody has to die
The years go down, the years turn 'round And it's comin' down, comin' down 'til everybody's in the ground Are you happy on the inside? To the world, to the world, say it again The years go down, the years turn 'round And it's comin' down, comin' down 'til everybody's in the ground Are you happy on the inside?
And so I say, I don't know why, I don't know why The years go down, the years turn 'round And now it's comin' down it's comin' down again Was I ever on the inside?
Time was on my side for so long 'Til it said so long to me Then it fled and left for dead this dying body on some dead man's property Did I fall down on the first round? Will I get up for the last? Too many choices wrong and oh so long forgotten buried deep inside my little shallow past
What can I say? I don't know why, I don't know why (deep water stranded high and dry) The years go down, the years turn 'round And now it's comin' down it's comin' 'round again I looked happy on the outside To the world, to the world, say it again The years go down, the years turn 'round And now it's comin' down it's comin' down again I was happy on the outside To the world, to the world, to the world
I realize I'm outside Every day, every night Will I ever get it right? I realize You're inside You and me, could it be I'm set free
I realize I'm outside Clinging to the past My world is dying and I keep on crying watching every precious day go right on past And so I say I don't know why, I don't know why Everybody has to die
The years go down, the years turn 'round And it's comin' down, comin' down 'til everybody's in the ground Are you happy on the inside? To the world, to the world, say it again The years go down, the years turn 'round And it's comin' down, comin' down 'til everybody's in the ground Are you happy on the inside?
