Amelia Curran - Years lyrics

At the turn of the century We were all in the past We were half of us dreamers Who love the other half And some married the message And some carried the news And some stayed on the border The unfortunate few Am I wasting my time Am I wasting my time In a bottle of bruises On the words and the rhymes The true length of a lie Is a list of excuses And it's measuring up Just to do or to die I don't know where the time goes When it isn't here At the eve of the hour Was I even there We swore we were better And we were going somewhere A generational fever On the fabric of a fear Oh, I know what I know now I left the water for the fire show I cleaned swept it I hightailed it from the tide But that's not victory to declare I did not notice love was there I turned a corner unaware And love had died Oh I'm turned around on a dime And spinning all the time I threw it all out on the table Drew it all out on the line I've got a million regrets And I'm sorry for everything I've ever done sometimes But it's nowhere near sunset And, baby, we've got years yet Baby, we've got years Baby, we've got years Baby, we've got years
