You know you've done me cold so many times
Yes, you know damn well you did
But each time you looked for yours
I went and got mine
But I'd stand by you while the palaces fall
And I'll pull you over the heavenly wall
We were born at the wrong time, it's been a long time
No nothing
We've been to the back of every old town
We've played out our tune darlin
We've covered our ground
But I'd stand by you while the palaces fall
And I'll pull you over the heavenly wall
We were born at the wrong time, it's been a long time
No nothing
Nothing we came from, and nothing we've found
We've got nothing left to live for but the sweet, sacred sound
Your feet they are flying and mine still on the ground
But the fire's still burning and I've got no one around
And the river's still flying from my heart to the sea
My wheels are turning, my wheels are turning
My wheels are turning
I'll stand by you while the palaces fall
And I'll pull you over the heavenly wall
I'll stand by you while the castles all burn
We gave it a run, but we never could learn
We were born at the wrong time,
It's been a long time
