The Lost Years Revisited
After tracking “The Lost Years,” I listened to it repeatedly and felt it would be nice to do another version of the song as a ballad. While working on this one I also decided to record it as a duet.
Here we are
A place we’ve been before
Those nights apart
Have left us wanting more
Sometimes I don’t know
Just what I was thinking of
There’s the things we do
And the things we do for love
(chorus)
And after all this time
This is what was meant to be
The lost years
They won’t be lost on me
Blinded by my future
A picture I could see
I built up that dream
Fear ruled over me
You didn’t say
What I couldn’t hear
So I marched on through the years
Marking only time
And making only tears
(Bridge)
But yesterday’s not yesteryear
I see you now
And what you say I hear
Turns out
The blind can see
And the deaf have ears
(chorus)
And after all this time
This is what was meant to be
The lost years
They won’t be lost on me
Those lost years
They won’t be lost on me
(They won’t be lost on me)
The sun we see now
The air so sweet
Was earned on the road
Through the land of the lost
To where you found me
