|
Caught in the middle |
|
Carol, we're middle class, we're middle aged |
|
We were wild in the old days |
|
Birth of rock 'n roll days |
|
Now your kids are coming up straight |
|
And my child's a stranger |
|
I bore her, but I could not raise her |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Down at the Chinese Cafe |
|
We'd be dreaming on our dimes |
|
We'd be playing, "Oh my love, my darling" |
|
One more time |
|
Uranium money is booming in the old home town now |
|
It's putting up sleek concrete |
|
Tearing the old landmarks down now |
|
Paving over brave little parks |
|
Ripping off Indian land again |
|
How long, how long |
|
Short sighted business men |
|
Ah, nothing lasts for long |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Down at the Chinese Cafe |
|
We'd be dreaming on our dimes |
|
We'd be playing, "You give your love, so sweetly" |
|
One more time |
|
Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn |
|
This girl of my childhood games |
|
With kids nearly grown and gone |
|
Grown so fast like the turn of a page |
|
We look like our mothers did now |
|
When we were those kids' age |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Nothing lasts for long |
|
Down at the Chinese Cafe |
|
We'd be dreaming on our dimes |
|
We'd be playing, "Oh my love, my darling |
|
I've hundred for your touch a long lonely time |
|
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much |
|
Are you still mine? |
|
I need your love, I need your love |
|
God speed your love to me" |
|
Time goes, where does the time go |
|
I wonder where the time goes |
