Lyrics Too Many Years - Jorma Kaukonen

Too Many Years

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 gobut 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 in 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;
One look in my soul says there just ain’t no use trying;
It’s been too many years
To watch our hearts die in 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 in this way
