From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I m travelling 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

Chorus. So understand
Don t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up...make your stand
And realise 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

Chorus. So understand
Don t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up...make your stand
And realise you re living in the golden years
