terry scott taylor - your long year lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
a lot of people have asked me what–who, who i’m addressing in “your long year.” i had one person, had the theory that i was singing this to gene eugene. but in fact, it really is a sort of older person, wiser person talking to a younger person who feels immortal and that, uh, life goes on and on. it’s sort of an object lesson.

[verse 1]
say that youth is wasted
on the young
still, it’s good that you’re not jaded
and i’m glad you’re having fun

[chorus 1]
your long year ran right by here
just another short day to me
so how have you been in your beautiful skin?
did you solve all life’s mysteries
in your long year?

[verse 2]
and when time turns the table
you’ll be me
wearing all the tags and labels
of an ancient history

[chorus 1]
your long year ran right by here
just another short day to me
so how have you been in your beautiful skin?
did you solve all life’s mysteries
in your long year?

[bridge]
“and oh my, how time flies”
say the eyes of the dusty old men
oh my, the days rush by
you laugh it off
the years get lost
’til oh my
you’re one of them
(your long year)

[chorus 2]
did you love? were you kind?
giving thanks for the time
in your long year?
did you dare to have faith
in goodness and grace
in your long year?

[chorus 3]
well, your long year ran right by here
just another short day to me
so how have you been, my immortal friend?
did you solve all life’s mysteries
in your long year?
in your long year
