77s The Years Go Down Lyrics

The Years Go Down Lyrics

I was lying on the inside

All snuggled safe and warm

Now I'm crying
on the outside 'cuz all my keys won't fit the door

I'd survive in sunny
weather

A little rainfall now and then

But I can't abide this
endless desert storm of dry bones, sand, and wind



And so I say, I
don't know why, I don't know why

The years go down, the years turn
'round

And now it's comin' down it's comin' down again

Was I ever
on the inside?



Time was on my side for so long

'Til it said
so long to me

Then it fled and left for dead this dying body on some dead
man's property

Did I fall down on the first round?

Will I get up for
the last?

Too many choices wrong and oh so long forgotten buried deep
inside my little shallow past



What can I say?

I don't know
why, I don't know why

(deep water stranded high and dry)

The years
go down, the years turn 'round

And now it's comin' down it's comin'
'round again

I looked happy on the outside

To the world, to the
world, say it again

The years go down, the years turn 'round

And
now it's comin' down it's comin' down again

I was happy on the outside

To the world, to the world, to the world



I realize I'm
outside

Every day, every night

Will I ever get it right?

I
realize You're inside

.You and me, could it be

I'm set free



I realize I'm outside

Clinging to the past

My world is
dying and I keep on crying watching every precious day go

right on
past

And so I say

I don't know why, I don't know why

Everybody has to die



The years go down, the years turn
'round

And it's comin' down, comin' down 'til everybody's in the ground-
