lyrics

Words and Music: Cornelius Eady

Waited too long
Waited too long
All the Good Times
Have come and gone
Hard times coming on
Hey

You won the world
But not the girl
You’ve got the toys
But not the boy
Who’s the thief
That swiped your hair,
Left that old husk
Sitting there?
Hey

Waited too long
Waited too long
All the Good Times
Have come and gone
Hard times coming on
Hey

All the years
Have turned to sand
That plot you wrote
Slips through your hands.
Some day
Your heart would unpack
Some day
You’d change your tack
Hey

Waited too long
Waited too long
All the Good Times
Have come and gone
Hard times coming on
Hey
Tick-tock
The end of beauty
Every grey head
Must do its duty.
Waiting on a ship, waiting for a wind
All those endings
You’ll never begin.
Hey

Waited too long
Waited too long
All the Good Times
Have come and gone
Hard times coming on
Hey
