The days are long but the years fly past
The days are long
The days are long but the years fly past
The days are long
It sure seems like there is a stopwatch that no one can remember to stop
Soon will be the time when what you’re holding onto is gonna drop
And no one will be willing to swap
Those yesterdays that I remember when I think hard are yesteryears
Time may be all booked but there’s always gonna be time for tears
Right out of the blue it appears
The days are long but the years fly past
The days are long
Father Time the iconoclast
His ways are wrong
They say “live in the moment” and they sing “let’s live for today”
We obsess on the past because the future has nothing to say
Counting down only should be done on new year’s eve
Since it only reminds us of what we didn’t achieve
Those years ago now have been feeling like they were just the other day
That mean calendar seems to have the wrong dates on display
Time will not wait and won’t stay
The days are long but the years fly past
The days are long
The ever shrinking supporting cast
The ways are wrong
The days are long but the years fly past
The days are long
With brand new things that you won’t outlast
The ways are wrong

Just picked up the vinyl based on the strength of two outstanding tracks I’ve heard so far, and Charlie “the Quaker”’s glowing review. Amazing stuff. Matthew Golosinski
