Em A I got by but I’m tired of myself Em A And doubt that I ever will find someone else Em A C Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love B7 Am I just want it to be like it was B7 Am B7 And I want you to be as you were long ago I go down to the edge of the lake Where I wait through the night for the dawn light to break Memories of old crash like waves on the shore of my mind And I pray that the stars will align I just want us to be who we were long ago Chorus: Em Bm A I just want what was C B B7 How I yearn for the years we were young and in love I get by, but it's hard to forget In the smoke of denial and the fog of regret Dismal and darksome like clouds in the sky of my soul And I hear thunder roll I look up at the uncaring sky With a prayer on my lips and a tear in my eye Oh, how the heart burns like fire in the light of the moon I just hope you'll be comin' back soon Chorus: You're my long-lost love Can we wind back the wheels to the way that it was?
