THE LOST YEARS I didn’t wander out in the desert Wasn’t locked in a padded room Didn’t find myself in the gutter Howling at the moon But seven years came and went With nothing much to show At the time I couldn’t see Now I’ve come to know Refrain: All and all Those were the lost years All and all Those were the lost years I can see I lost perspective Trying to find the one best way Nothing ever measured up I had no more dreams in play I dodged the toughest questions Life was a roundabout And when the dust had settled down Fear was clutching doubt Refrain And I can’t get ‘em back No, I can’t get ‘em back So I guess I’ll just say “Adios” And what about the future? Well, I haven’t been advised So I take it day by day With a lot more compromise I’m living with the knowledge That it’s easy to backslide And slip across that shadow line Without breaking stride Refrain Copyright 2016 Fred Grittner All Rights Reserved Fred Grittner 2020 iMac, Sonoma, Logic Pro https://52tracksblog.com https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com

Excellent arrangement and mix. Just what this needs. I like an introspective song that is presented in a "on the bright side" package (music). Most writers never do that. This works on every level. An important message, well told. floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...
