How Many Years Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How many years will it take for these tears to dry?
Oh, my Lord please don't pass me by
Where can I run when my running is out of time?
[Chorus]
These are the moments that I'm with you
Under the pressure I'll see it through
Live out the wonder way past the borderline
Adventure as far as the eye can see
I'll try not to miss you too desperately
Live out the wonder way past the borderline
[Verse 2]
It comes and it goеs but it's always in control of me
How the hell on еarth can I set me free?
Where can I run when the ground moves beneath my feet?
[Chorus]
These are the moments that I'm with you
Under the pressure I see it through
Live out the wonder way past the borderline
Adventure as far as the eye can see
I'll try not to miss you too desperately
Live out the wonder way past the borderline, the borderline
These are the moments that I'm with you
Under the pressure I see it through
Live out the wonder way past the borderline
Adventure as far as the eye can see
I'll try not to miss you too desperately
Live out the wonder way past the borderline
