Wasted Years (Iron Maiden) Lyrics

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas

I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself

And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but

someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home

Another city goes by in the night

Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's

gone away

And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
dying day

[Chorus:]

So understand

Don't waste your time always searching for

those wasted years

Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind

Can't ease this pain, so easily

When you can't find the words to say it's hard to

make it through another day

And it makes me wanna cry and throw my

hands up to the sky

[Chorus:]
