Split Enz - Years Go By Lyrics

She gets up in the afternoon
The sun will set behind her
When the twilight comes
The magic one, will gaze on you
Seconds last for hours all evening
This purple room is breathing
To the milky way I turn my gaze
It's a mystery
Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind

One thing to be sure of is we live and die
Fear and doubt no longer harbour lies
Love not grow old where we reside
'Tis enough for now to set you down
And gaze on you
Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind
One thing to be sure of is we live and die
