Bob Dylan - Long And Wasted Years Lyrics






It's been such a long, long time
Since we loved each other and our hearts were true
One time, for one brief day, I was the man for you

Last night I heard you talking in your sleep
Saying things you shouldn't say
Oh baby, you just might have to go to jail someday

Is there a place we can go?
Is there anybody we can see?
Maybe, it's the same for you as it is for me

I ain't seen my family in twenty years
That ain't easy to understand
They may be dead by now
I lost track of them after they lost their land

Shake it up baby twist and shout
You know what it's all about
What are you doing out there in the sun anyway?
Don't you know the sun can burn your brains right out?

My enemy crashed into the dust
Stopped dead in his tracks and he lost his lust
He was run down hard and he broke apart
He died in shame he had an iron heart

I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes
There are secrets in them I can't disguise
Come back baby if I ever hurt your feelings I apologize

Two trains running side by side
Forty miles wide, down the eastern line
You don't have to go
I just came to you because your a friend of mine

I think that when my back was turned
The whole world behind me burned
It's been awhile since we walked down that long, long aisle

We cried on that cold and frosty morn
We cried because our souls were torn
So much for tears, so much for these long and wasted years

  9. L.... R....

    There are lines people cannot cross and once they do they pay dearly, life is not black and white but if you cross into the grey on certain matters you pay and thank God for that, that's why lines and limits exist.

  10. L.... R....

    One can die in peace knowing that someone out there understood what you were feeling...

  11. L.... R....

    It's incredible how these artists are able to portray, describe, write about situations that relate to all people....

  12. K.... J....

    does anyone knows why Dylan lately uses 3 different mics in front of him.never saw that anywhere.it looks spectacular but i am wondering if there is some other reason for this.

  16. A.... ....

    Someone please get Bob a coat that fits.

  17. A.... K....

    he 's something else...this guy... will love him till the day i die.

  18. T.... R....

  19. s.... ....

  20. C.... R....

    I wonder when his heart was ever  true?? Do it for you, whatever's right? the goats part off to the left, as do the Islamic deceivers.

    C.... R....

    Connie Rowden what the fuck are you talking about

  21. V.... K....

    Man, that delivery in the end "so much for tears, so much for these long and wasted years." Incredible!

  22. �.... ....

    I think this is the Dylan's best song .

    �.... ....

    酒井隆文 I completely agree.

    L.... d....

    The greatest wordsmith ever. I love Bob Dylan. Like a rolling stone...

  28. R.... B....

    OMG look at his hands! theyre torn to shreds.

    R.... B....

    That's what decades of intense fingerpicking guitars and arthritis does to you

    R.... B....

    He types his lyrics...that and the guitar and the arthritis. He also maintains an inhumane tour schedule of about 100 shows per year. / 2 per week

  29. M.... A....

    Thank you very much Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss/Master zoothorn99... come back baby, if I hurt...

  30. M.... A....

    for one of these days :)

  31. 1.... ....

    That's a great performance and a great video. Awesome upload, one of my favourites of his.

  32. M.... A....

    Just like Josey Wales I know Him Quite Well Actually! Lol!

  33. K.... H....

    Just because you're Bob Dylan, doesn't mean you can't write shit music. *See example above*

    K.... H....

    Kustom Hooligans, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  34. D.... ....

    Regardless of our compatible astrology signs, I fear it wouldn't work anyways, I don't do jets or alcohol, I've a speck of patience left when it comes to men, and he's probably looking for an "arrangement" as is the fashion in these times. I wouldn't know what to do with such an accomplished man, and money can truly be a burden, and he will never ask this poor. simple girl out, so it is as it is. I will remain heartbroken for the rest of time {{{sigh}}}

  35. H.... ....

    sara teasdale is speaking to me:

    When I am dead and over me bright April shakes out here rain drenched hair
    Though you should lean over me broken hearted
    I shall not care
    I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful
    when rain bends downs the bough
    And I shall be more silent and cold hearted
    then you are now.

  36. s.... F....

    top form! wonderful to see him live again, but sorry to say the backing could be a little better

  37. G.... A....

    Magistral¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  38. c.... ....

    haven't seen this quality video of Dylan live in many years - these CP vids will certainly become part of his legacy. Were you paid to take these vids, zoothorn99? Anyway, they are awesome.

    c.... ....

    @chronecro Thanks Chronecro. Paid? Ha, no. I'm afraid they are viewed quite the contrary by the artist but I view it as a small documentation of his current live performance. Glad you enjoyed.

    c.... ....

    +zoothorn99 Quite the contrary, indeed!

  39. S.... V....

    Superbo magico lacrime cazzo !

  40. T.... R....

    I was at this show. It was spectacular. Thanks!

  41. M.... S....

    I can't stop watching these videos you have a great great talent!! Hope you have some free time in the future to post more.  Thanks again for all this hard work!!

    M.... S....

    Thanks! I've watched them more than a few times myself :)  I may have a few more that aren't totally dark. I'll take another look and see what I can post.

    M.... S....

    :-) :-) you the man!!

  42. M.... S....

    More please!!. AMAZING!!!

    M.... S....

    Thanks. Just posted 'Soon After Midnight' if you want to check it out.

  43. A.... O....

    Olé Bob. Renace una y otra vez

  44. l.... ....

    Once you've heard the words more clearly on the official release, you don't need them anymore. The meaning here, is conveyed through the sound of the voice and one can grasp the meaning through mood and intonations of his gravely, old and wise man voice.

    l.... ....

    Bobs best song.

    l.... ....

    very true description of you.

  45. m.... e....

    I'm the only one who thinks that Bob sounds like Shnozel Durante here !!

    m.... e....

    Yes you are! Now fuck off assface.

    m.... e....

    @MrPernell27
    seriously??? is that necessary? 

  46. n.... ....

    I love how Dylan makes love to the microphone.....Dylan's charisma is extremely beautiful

  47. J.... N....

    So GOOD to see Bob still going strong!  There will never be another one like 'em!!!
    I saw him twice back in the 90's.  Strong performances each time!

  48. V.... P....

    Keep recording for us. Thank you.

  49. D.... K....

    please put up the rest of the show.  Incredible quality!!

    D.... K....

    Agreed. The video looks like it was taken on stage it's so good

    D.... K....

    Do you have any video yourself of shows you've been to?  Saw him last week. No video, couple audios...

    D.... K....

    I haven't taken any videos yet. I really don't think anybody could take better videos than the one you did. What we're you using by the way?

  50. H.... ....

    what do they need an experiment to find out how it feels to experience alone what one usually experiences in groups, like a bob Dylan concert?  I can tell you first hand.  Just ask me.

  51. r.... ....

    good video!  I enjoyed it.  I don't know how you were able to get such good quality.  Thanks!
