From the coast of gold, across the seven seas

I’m travellin’ on, far and wide

But now it seems, I’m just a stranger to myself

And all the things I sometimes do, it isn’t me but someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home

Another city goes by in the night

Ain’t it funny how it is, you never miss it ’til it’s gone away

And my heart is lying there and will be ’til my dying day

So understand

Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years

Face up make your stand

And realize you’re living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind

Can’t ease this pain, so easily

When you can’t find the words to say it’s hard to make it through another day

And it makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky

So understand

Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years

Face up make your stand

And realize you’re living in the golden years

(Solo)

So understand

Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years

Face up make your stand

And realize you’re living in the golden years
