Lyrics These Years - Robert Earl Keen

These Years

Down the hill
Through the light
Past the city jail
I watch and walk
Every night
I wondered who to tell
How can I tell my father?
HeЂ™s been gone all these years
I couldnЂ™t tell my father
I couldnЂ™t bear the tears
I was lost
In a rage
DidnЂ™t ever mean to be
Now the cost
Has set the stage
And it will bury me
