Twenty Years Gone

from Only Ghosts by Only Ghosts

/

lyrics

Verse 1

the weeping willow won't shed it's leaves under the sun
and the river always flows along streets we used to run
empty parks on summer nights and the songs we sung
well those days don't last forever stop to look but they were gone

Chorus

as we sleepwalk through the ages thinking life has just begun
then i get the news they buried you and twenty years have gone

Verse 2

some they overstay the party pushed it just to far
lost the thread that keeps the wolf from growling right outside your door
when a thousand helping hands couldn't give the grip it needs
to free the shackles from a mind in fear and eyes that couldn't see

Chorus

as we sleepwalk through the ages thinking life has just begun
then i get the news they buried you and twenty years have gone

Verse 3

take a rest you've walked a mile in yesterdays new shoes
climbed the hill that see's the furthest swum oceans green and blue
oh the times we had just starting out the bloomin of the flower
like the winds of time have blown away it doesn't matter now

Chorus

as we sleepwalk through the ages thinking life has just begun
then i get the news they buried you and twenty years have gone
