Counting The Days

Lying in some hotel room far away from love Tired in a way that few could know Beaten by the long arm And the footsteps from above Listening to the traffic below Bad thoughts banging on my door I don't wanna talk today Would you go away while you leave me be? I set out traveling long ago You know it wasn't easy letting go Now the thing I love the most is killing me And my years are showing, my children are growing It's too late now to roll back the dial In my heart I'm knowing, it's time to get going The years are getting shorter all the while I'm just counting the days gone and wasted away Ooh, hmm Shipwreck promises are sinking deep within the mind Another birthday gone and you're running out of time And you wish that you could trade back all the hours that you killed Put the places that you've been to and the boxes that you filled But nobody wants to see the tears of a man So you press your weary eyes into the palms of your hands And you're waiting for the highs to save you from the lows And your feet just wanna fly, but there's nowhere to go And my years are showing, my children are growing It's too late now to roll back the dial In my heart I'm knowing, it's time to get going The years are getting shorter all the while I'm just counting the days gone and wasted away Ooh, hmm, ooh, hmm And my years are showing, my children are growing It's too late now to roll back the dial In my heart I'm knowing, it's time to get going The years are getting shorter all the while I'm just counting the days gone and wasted away Ooh, hmm Oh, and my ears are short Children are growing And my bones are low It's time to get going
