Wasted Time - 2013 Remaster

Well baby, there you stand

With your little head down in your hand

Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again

Your baby's gone and you're all alone

And it looks like the end

Back out on the street

And you're trying to remember, oh

How do you start it over

You don't know if you can

You don't care much for a stranger's touch

But you can't hold your man

You never thought you'd be alone

This far down the line

But I know what's been on your mind

You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking

About the first time that you fell, fell

You didn't love the boy too much

No, no you just loved the boy too well, yeah

So you live from day to day

And you dream about tomorrow

And the hours go by like minutes

And the shadows come to stay

So you take a little something to make them go away

And I could have done so many things, baby

If I could only stop my mind

From wondering what I left behind

And from worrying about this wasted time

The love has come and gone

The years keep rushing on

I remember what you told me

Before you went out on your own

Sometimes to keep it together

You got to leave it alone

So you can get on with your search, baby

And I can get on with mine

Maybe someday we will find

That it wasn't really wasted time
