Van morrison wasted years lyrics

Wasted years been brainwashed by lies

Oh yes I have

Oh wasted years

I'm talking about wasted years

Oh I'm not seeing eye-to-eye

I just can't see the things I should see

Wasted years, baby

I was taking the wrong advice

I know you was, I know you was

And I was too

All alone I'm travelling

Travelling through these wasted years

For so long, so long, so long I was

Oh, I must have gained some wisdom

Down through the years I did

Somewhere along the way

Oh yes, I did, oh yes I did

Thet's why there can't be no more

No more

No more wasted years today

I got wise, I got wise to myself

Well baby the great sadness

Oh, you've got to let it all go

Oh yeah, oh yeah Van

Live in the present

Live in the future John Lee, ain't that so

Oh, it's a sad feeling, oh yeah

Oh, you've gotta find something

To carry you through, carry you through,

carry you through

I've learned my lesson

I ain't gonna do it no more, yeah

Now Van

Now John

I've learned my lesson

I should have a long time ago

That's right

All these wasted years, wasted years

I finally woke up and got wise

I ain't gonna be, ain't gonna be no fool no more

Now Van, now Van

Ain't gonna be nobody's body's fool no more

Sing the song Van, sing it with me

Well all alone, all alone I've been travelling

Yeah

Travelling all along through these wasted years

Dark, dark wasted years

So dark here

Dark, dark, dark, dark wasted years

I must have gained something

Yeah

Oh travelling along the lonely way

Yeah, I've learned a lesson

I'm gonna make damn sure baby, make damn sure
