Too Many Years

(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
