Counting Up the Years lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look at my life
Count the years
Wonder why I'm here
The days go by
The circles close
Love comes and goes

[Verse 2]
It's not enough
Just to be alive
Staring at an empty sky
To find my place
Run my race
Then retire
Where's the fire?

[Chorus]
Counting up the years
Wondering how long they'll last
Measuring the future by the past
Through the looking glass
Counting up the years

[Verse 3]
Making moves
Making plans
Making haste
No time to waste
Keeping score
Gaining points
Losing faith
Love comes too late
[Chorus]
Counting up the years
Wondering how long they'll last
Measuring the future by the past
Through the looking glass
Counting up the years

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Counting up the years
Wondering how long they'll last
Measuring the future by the past
Shadows drawing near
Counting up the years

[Outro]
Counting up the years
Counting up the years
