Keady Phelan: Music

Wasted Years

(Keady Phelan)
Keady Phelan/Gilles Margerin
When I go down to my town,
I feel stuck and I feel drowned.
The light above me is all I see
As it ripples off the water that surrounds me.

We are so far
So many scars
All the wasted years and the tears
I took my placed I wiped my face
And I played to bone
But now I’m here my greatest fear
Is I can’t make it back home
On my own

Drifting through my town
I feel strange and I look around
And all I see are my memories free
As they flitter and they float All around me

We are so far, so many scars,
All the wasted years and the tears
I took my placed I wiped my face
And I played to bone
But now I’m here my greatest fear
Is I can’t make it back home
On my own

Tell me can you see their faces I know I’ve seen them before
I’ve lingered much too long It’s time I was a moving on
I’ve been here before and I’ve seen that door
And this time I’m going through
It won’t be long But I know that I’m going without you

Now I’m done with this town
I won’t be here so I can’t be found
Memories of me that’s all there’ll be
And the whisper and the echo of a sweet dream

We are so far
So many scars
All the wasted years and the tears
I took my placed I wiped my face
And I played to bone
But now I’m here my greatest fear
Is I won’t make it back home
I’m on my own, on my own
