Morning fades to the afternoon
I waste these evenings alone sitting next to you
Friday comes and she goes again
I watch the hours fall out of my weekend

I find that all my time, my time is sold
My eyes are worn in the mirror by an older man
I try and mine these years for the gold
Can I take them back again
I'll take them back again

My mind grows quiet after two or three
Triple filtered, distilled till eternity
Seven days try to turn the page
Of this book I own but I never read

I find that all my time, my time is sold
My eyes are worn in the mirror by an older man
I try and mine these years for the gold
Can I take them back again
I'll take them back again

My chest is filled with troubled water
I'm drowning in my bed
I never seem to find my sleep from all the knocking in my head
Worry's just a passing ship
That's come back round again
I don't know if I feel any better

I hear home is a different place
I guess seven years it can change a face
Life ain't nothing without a hand to hold
Someone to keep you young when you're getting old

I find that all my time, my time is sold
My eyes are worn in the mirror by an older man
I try and mine these years for the gold
Can I take them back again

I'll take them back again
I'll take them back again
I'll take them back again
I'll take them back again
