From the coast of gold, across the seven seas   I'm travelin' 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 if 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      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      So understand don't waste your time   Always searching for those wasted years   Face up, make this stand   And realize you're living in the golden years
