Iron Years

We are lost in the iron years

Where time disappears before our very eyes

And don't say there's a time and place

For everyone who waits it's a load of lies

Look where we are tonight

Not near but far tonight

A long way from joy

We're a long way from joy

You are looking for a pair of eyes

Hoping to be hypnotised

But it's a glance you steal

And joy sometimes is just a word

Something that we have heard

But don't get to feel

Look where we are tonight

Not near but far tonight

A long way from joy

We're a long way from joy

I know you well

I know you're gonna be there soon

I know you well

I know you will be there, so soon

I'm on your side

A friend deep inside

Like the times we were so close to joy

We were so close

I know you well

I know you're gonna get there

I know you well

I know you will be there
