I see you standing by the window
Just like you did when you were young,
And yes you've got the same expression
"why has the real life not begun",
You've been waiting such a long time
To be taken by the hand,
But no one'll ever come a calling
'till you've learned to kiss the ground,
Words just walk and wait
Just outside your gate,
Friends they turn and run
Like our winter sun.
Put all your problems into bottles
And empty bottles will fill your home
Until they're covering all the doors,
But it's the only way you've known
Well you've been waiting such a long time
For the world to understand,
But no one ever listens
'till you're living on dry land,
Days just hold and clutch
With a woman's touch,
Girls just stroke and tease
With love's new disease.
Don't ever let it get you down,
Don't ever let it get you down.
Don't ever let it get you down,
Don't ever let me see that troubled brow.
Don't ever let it get you down,
Days just hold and clutch,
Don't ever let it get you down,
Don't ever let it get you down,
Words just walk and wait,
Don't ever let me see that troubled brow.
Don't ever let it get you down,
Don't ever let it get you down.
Don't ever let it get you down,
Don't ever let me see that troubled brow.
Don't ever let it get you down,
Friends just turn and run,
Don't ever let it get you down,
Girls just stroke and tease,
Don't ever let me see that troubled brow.
The days are short but neber cast
So take the keys to making them last,
Clear your mind and clean your veins
Take that ride and pick up those reins,
The hardest part you always knew
Was when to start to make it true,
Time has come never or now
A chance to ease that troubled brow.
