Van Morrison - Wasted Years lyrics
[Van Morrison - Wasted Years lyrics]
Wasted years (M-m-m)
Been brainwashed by lies (Oh yes I have)
Oh, wasted years
(I'm talking about wasted years)
Oh, I'm not seeing eye-to-eye
(I just can't see the things I should see)
Wasted years, baby (Oh)
I was taking the wrong advice
(I know you was, I know you
Was, and I was too, yeah)
All alone I'm travelling (M-m-m)
Travelling through these wasted years, yeah
(For so long, so long, so long I was)
Oh, I must have gained some wisdom
(Down through the years I did)
Somewhere along the way
(Oh yes I did, oh yes I did)
That's why there can't be no more (No more)
No more wasted years today, yeah
(I got wise, I got wise to myself)
Well baby, the great sadness (M-m-m)
Oh, you got to let it all go
(Oh yeah, oh yeah Van) live in the present
Live in the future John Lee, ain't that so
(Oh, it's a sad feeling, oh yeah)
Oh, you got to find something (M-m-m)
To carry you through
(yeah yeah) , carry you through (yeah yeah)
Carry you through (yeah)
I've learned my lesson, I ain't
Gonna do it no more, yeah
Now Van (Now John) i've learned my lesson
I should have
(yeah) a long time ago (That's right)
All these wasted years, wasted years (yeah)
I finally woke up and got wise
I ain't gonna be
Ain't gonna be no fool no more (yeah)
Now Van, now Van
Ain't gonna be nobody's (M-m-m)
Body's fool no more
Sing the song Van (yeah) , sing it with me
Well, all alone
All alone I've been travelling (yeah)
Travelling all along through these
Wasted years, baby, yeah
(Oh, dark, dark wasted years) so dark here
(Dark, dark, dark, dark wasted years)
I must have gained something (yeah)
Oh, travelling along the lonely way
(yeah yeah yeah I did, I've learned a lesson
Yeah) i'm gonna make damn sure baby
(I have, I have) , make damn sure (I have)
No more wasted years today
(No more, no more, no more wasted years
No more wasted years)
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Been brainwashed by lies (Oh yes I have)
Oh, wasted years
(I'm talking about wasted years)
Oh, I'm not seeing eye-to-eye
(I just can't see the things I should see)
Wasted years, baby (Oh)
