The Years Pt. 1

from Songs From the North Country by Funkyfreddy

/
  • Streaming + Download

    My mother always wished that she could ask my grandfather for advice after he died at a relatively early age.... I'm sure that the lyrics from this tune come partially from her yearning as he was a very practical and intelligent man.

    In contrast to this are the many wrong turns I've made in my career as a musician..... our time being more precious than money.....

    The chorus refers to many of my fellow travelers that have thrown away their lives and talent in pursuit of things that destroy them.... not the most light hearted tune but hopefully honest :)

lyrics

The Years, The Tears, and the Fears

Grandfather, where did I go wrong?
Grandfather, where did I go wrong?
sitting in a one room flat with
roaches running across the floor
Grandfather, where did I go wrong?

grandfather, where did we go wrong?
grandfather, where did we go wrong?
living in poverty in America
grandfather, where did we go wrong?

all the wasted time
Lord it seems a crime
all the wasted years

all the wasted time
Lord it blows my mind
all those wasted years
the years, the tears, and the fears

looking back on all those wasted nights
nowadays the survivors are a sight
who drove their party off the road
the wreckage of their lives a load
and now they cry for strength to carry on

all the wasted time
Lord it seems a crime
all the wasted years

all the wasted time
oh it blows my mind
all those wasted years
the years, the tears, and the fears
