2 Years On lyrics

Summers come and summers go
But I still need the rain
All your vines will overgrow
and winds will blow insane

But I'm not goin' to move
And I won't make you cry
You can shelter in my home
And I won't ask you why

Friends will come and friends will go
But you stay on my train
All your wines will overflow
As winds will blow insane

But I'm not goin' to move
And I won't make you cry

Everybody wants to leave
Just like you and I
I have all year to smile
A tear for every eye

Life closed it's eyes, broke my world, now I cry
I've got to tell you, I've got the reasons
'Cause I'm a man, a man for all seasons, alive

And would I pray
What makes the world go round
I haven't got today
My mind is lost and found

Life closed it's eyes and said goodbye, now I cry

George was born somewhere inside London town
Working as he grew for that extra pound.
Respected by all he married and made a home.
To give his children more then he had known.

But then he died with out an explanation.
He never lied , a very sincere relation.

Years before a fire sent him in the street.
It took him months of work to make ends meet.

But then he died without and explanation.

Took a plane to Cairo
Then a Cessna to Rome
I got hijacked to Tel Aviv
And it's the first time that I've flown

But I've found my Shangri-la
In a place that's not too far , back home

Took a train to Jordan
And to Texas and back
I met Lyndon B. Johnson and I felt his hand on my back

But I found my Shangri-la
In a place that's not too far, back home

Back home, back home,

I ain't got no claim to nothing.
I don't mess with anyone.
I walk my way living in a masquerade.
And one day I looked behind me at all the things I've done.
That's the 1st mistake I ever made.
I was born to a lonely women in a town called Buffalo.
Never knew the man who never stayed.
With my 12-string on my back I discovered every track.
That's the 1st mistake I ever made.

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day.
Come sit beside me in your way.
I see you every morning, outside the restaurants,
The music plays so nonchalant.

Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman
Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day.
Come sit beside me in your way.

'Leaving' that's all you ever seem to say and I'm tired
The wants you have me for have expired
Sleeping and reading ev'ry book I can find to get my mind off
In all I was a soul you were using
I am alone again
You can't believe the tears that I've shed
I'm on a bound down train
Don't desert me now or I am dead

People , the sun is going down on your heads so read your paper

If you think that you can hurt me and make my cry
Tell me why, tell me why , tell me why

And if you think that you can hurt me with lies that cry
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Now I've got my reasons for feeling this way
day after day and as nights go by

So, if you think my heart is broken and I might die
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

All of the world is as lonely as me

Don't you drink with me 'cos you know that I'm a loser.
And I'm proud of that fact as you can plainly see.
Never did what people said. I should've.
I'm just a low down critter who never did any good.
I'm just a low down critter who never did any good.

I spend my life working up a sweat to be a bad boy.
Getting girls into trouble ev'ry day.

Send out your invitations
There's gonna be a party goin' on
We'll meet you at the station
You know the race has just begun
If you don't know that I was born to hold you
Then I'm gonna tell ya loud and clear 'Baby I love ya'
Ev'ry second, ev'ry minute, ev'ry hour, ev'ry day of ev'ry year. Now

We're gonna climb a mountain
No one is gonna stop me now
My love is like a fountain

When I was 10 years old, my parents were poor
Our house was so cold
And I was still in school and learning
And then I never really got too far
And ev'ryone we knew had money
And driving a car, and driving a car

Now I'm twenty-one
The street where I lived is blown up and gone
And I've had a good day crying
And the world around has changed alot
I never really gave much more

When I was 10 years old, my parents were poor
Our house was so cold
And I was still in school and learning
And then I never really got too far
And ev'ryone we knew had money
And driving a car, and driving a car

Now I'm twenty-one
The street where I lived is blown up and gone
And I've had a good day crying
And the world around has changed alot
I never really gave much more

Send out your invitations
There's gonna be a party goin' on
We'll meet you at the station
You know the race has just begun
If you don't know that I was born to hold you
Then I'm gonna tell ya loud and clear 'Baby I love ya'
Ev'ry second, ev'ry minute, ev'ry hour, ev'ry day of ev'ry year. Now

No one is gonna stop me now
My love is like a fountain

Don't you drink with me 'cos you know that I'm a loser.
And I'm proud of that fact as you can plainly see.

I'm just a low down critter who never did any good.
I'm just a low down critter who never did any good.

Getting girls into trouble ev'ry day.

If you think that you can hurt me and make my cry
Tell me why, tell me why , tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

All your vines will overgrow
and winds will blow insane

But I'm not goin' to move

Friends will come and friends will go
But you stay on my train
All your wines will overflow
As winds will blow insane

But I'm not goin' to move
And I won't make you cry

One year, two years, time goes by.
People laugh and people cry.

Ev'ry morning the clock strikes eight.
I go to work. I close the gate.
And on my way, I sing a song.
About my wife, where I belong.

If the clouds get together and talk about the weather
If it's rain they anticipate
Baby make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see.

Two years on . Two years on .
