Let The Years Go By
© 2016 John Voorpostel


Broken hearted lover going incognito
I’ll remember all but I’ll survive
One day it’ll feel like you only bruised my ego
It may take a while, let the years go by


The night train’s late, and I’m waiting in the darkness
Diesel locomotives overnight
Reaching for horizons, keeping to my promise
It may take a while, let the years go by


In the meantime, so long, hope you find what you’re after
I know I couldn’t find you anywhere that mattered


Some day you may find me, stop and listen
I’ll tell you that I’m happy with my life
For now though my dreams are like a sickness, some addiction
It may take a while, let the years go by


They say that every healing journey starts with some admission and decisions... (how's this Chuck?)
I’ll try dreaming my wishes away every night, let the years go by
In the meantime, so long, hope you find what you’re after
I know I couldn’t find you anywhere that mattered


All good dreamers wish the night away
So good bye, I’ll let the years go by
Day by day by day by day by day
I’ll let the years go by






If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
