lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 Forever is a mighty long time I've been waiting For far too many years I've been crying Entirely too many tears Stretching my mind To the limits of my sanity Releasing my fears Denounced as profanity On the pages of the book it is written That a man such as I can never lose But what kind of scholar does it take To see that I am stuck in someone else's shoes Eternity Seems such a wasted time Return to me Why do you think that it's a crime Eternity This time will always be mine Forever is a mighty long time I've been looking Through rose-coloured shades I've been dreaming And singing lost serenades Lifting my voice To the heights of insanity Wishing my life Was the way it used to be In the lines on my face it is written The story of my life, as plain as day All you have to do is trace the weathered creases And maybe that will leave me without that much to say Eternity Seems such a wasted time Return to me Why do you think that it's a crime Eternity This time will always be mine Forever is a mighty long time I've been sitting Here in this chair too long I've been working Far too hard to write this song Reaching inside To try and find the right word It's just beyond My reach, but still you heard On the sleeve of the album it is written In colored text for all who care to see Just what my feelings are at any time And they can change before they rebound back on me Eternity Seems such a wasted time Return to me Why do you think that it's a crime Eternity This time will always be mine Forever is a mighty long time Eternity Seems such a wasted time Return to me Why do you think that it's a crime Eternity This time will always be mine Forever is a mighty long time In the lines on my face it is written The story of my life, as plain as day All you have to do is trace the weathered creases And maybe that will leave me without that much to say Forever is a mighty long time |
