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
