Long And Wasted Years Lyrics - Tempest (2 Vinyl Lps + Cd) - Bob Dylan

It's been such a long long time 

since we loved each other and our hearts were true 

one time, for one brief day, i was the man for you 

last night i heard you talkin in your sleep 

saying things you shouldn't say, oh baby 

you just may have to go to jail someday 

Is there a place we can go, 

is there anybody we can see? 

maybe, 

it's the same for you as it is for me

I ain't seen my family in twenty years 

that ain't easy to understand, they may be dead by now 

I lost track of em after they lost their land 

shake it up baby, twist and shout 

you know what it's all about 

what are you doing out there in the sun anyway? 

don't you know, the sun can burn your brains right out 

my enemy crashed into the dust 

Stopped dead in his tracks and he lost his lust 

he was run down hard and he broke apart 

he died in shame, he had an iron heart 

I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes 

there are secrets in em that I can't disguise 

come back baby 

if I hurt your feelings, I apologize 

Photos 

Two trains running side by side, forty miles wide 

down the eastern line 

you don't have to go, 

I just came to you because you're a friend of mine 

I think that when my back was turned, 

the whole world behind me burned 

it's been a while, 

since we walked down that long, long aisle 

we cried on a cold and frosty morn, 

we cried because our souls were torn 

so much for tears 

so much for these long and wasted years.
