Lyrics
Sunrise creepin', head full of haze
Another long day, in these bluesy ways.
That ol' clock tickin', don't seem to care
Just stealing moments, from the thin, thin air.
Oh, those long, long days,
Long days, driftin' away!
But the years, they fly so fast, they say.
Short years, can't make 'em stay!
Remember smoky rooms, a sweet perfume's trace,
A whiskey smile on her lovely face.
Those nights of blues, beneath the red lights gleam,
Living life just like a fever dream.
Oh, those long, long days,
Long days, driftin' away!
But the years, they fly so fast, they say.
Short years, can't make 'em stay!
These hands have worked, this heart has known some pain,
Seen sunshine turn to pourin' rain.
But through it all, the music sees me through,
Singin' 'bout the only life I knew.
Oh, those long, long days,
Long days, driftin' away!
But the years, they fly so fast, they say.
Short years, can't make 'em stay!
Said life is short, but my nights are long and blue!
Long and blue, what we gonna do!
