Jefferson Airplane Too Many Years Lyrics

Too Many Years Lyrics

(by J. Kaukonen)



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 go

but 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 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

a look in my soul says

it just ain't no use trying



It's been too many years

to watch our hearts die 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 this way
