Times do change

just one more time, will I go out there
see them once again, look if they have
changed, too bad if they have

take my car and drive it down, they're
still around live a life quiet like, I don't
find what  I've left there's nothing there
for me to take back

we've forgotten how to talk along the same
lines, their eyes sre shifty, voices leaving trail
we're staging a play

I decided not to stay, they're almost glad to
see me go away, a tension's in the air, no time
will I spare, we've drifted apart

no matter the talk, we've drifted apart
we smile, we don't laugh, it's no more
in the heart

Lost once, twice

I was standin' standin' there

in the darkest hour of my life

with the eyes of age starin' at me

she looked at me once 

she looked at me twice

wondering what she could do

to cure my achin' mind

she knew I was lost once 

now twice she knew I had lost more

than I could ever wish for or find

and the hurt it had never died

yes I was lost inside, inside my mind

and the eyes of age were starin' at me

wondering what time could do 

for a lost an' weary mind
