Longest Days Lyrics

Seems like

Once upon a time ago

I was where

I was supposed to be

My vision was true

And my heart was too

There was no end

To what I could dream

I walked like a hero

Into the setting sun

Everyone called out my name

Death to me was just a mystery

I was too busy raising up Cain

But nothing lasts forever

Your best efforts

Don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick

And don't get better

That's when life is short

Even in it's longest days

So you pretend not to notice

That everything has changed

The way that you look

And the friends you once hadJohn Mellencamp - Longest Days - http://motolyrics.com/john-mellencamp/longest-days-lyrics.html

So you keep on acting the same

But deep down in your soul

You know you, you got no flame

And who knows

Then which way to go

Life is short even

In it's longest days

All I got here

Is a rear view mirror

Reflections of where I've been

So you tell yourself

I'll be back up on top some day

But you know there's nothing

Waiting up there for you anyway

Nothing lasts forever

And your best efforts

Don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick

And you don't get better

That's when life is short

Even in it's longest days

Life is short

Even in it's longest days
