From the coast of gold
across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on
far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
it isn't me but someone else
I close my eyes
and think of home
Another city goes by
in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
you never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
and will be 'til my dying day
So
understand
Don't waste your time
always searching for those
wasted years
Face up
Make your stand
And realise you're
living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain
so easily
When you can't find
the words to say
it's hard to make it through
another day
And it makes me wanna cry
and throw my hands up to the sky
So
understand
Don't waste your time
always searching for those
wasted years
Face up
Make your stand
And realise you're
living in the golden years
So
understand
Don't waste your time
always searching for those
wasted years
Face up
Make your stand
And realise you're
living in the golden years
So
understand
Don't waste your time
always searching for those
wasted years
Face up
Make your stand
And realise you're
living in the golden years
