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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
