7 Years

Seven I was a lonely boy
Getting more than I'm giving
Set my footsteps on a trail of ashes
To isolation station
Though I knew the hour was sure
I would not heed on my own advice
So I stumbled on from right to wrong
From wrong to right
In my sweet time

(Up at dawn)
(I'll be gone)
(On the long road)
(Coming dawn)
(I'll be long)
(On the long road)

(I'm gone)
Seven more and I'll get it
(I'm gone)

Seven tears I shed for all of my
Oh, nine lives

To far last at smokey Jane
One for words I did not speak
Two for you and two for me
When we were young
And we believed in something
(Up at dawn)
(I'll be gone)
(On the long road)
(Coming dawn)
(I'll be long)
(On the long road)

I'm gone
I'm gone
(I'm gone)
(Up at dawn)
(I'll be gone)
On the long road
While all the trails
All end in declaration

Seven years, I
Seven I
Seven years and I
Seven I
Seven years, I
