Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days, of sunrise to sunset
Of sunrise to sunset
[Verse 2]
Dream on Brothers, while you can
Dream on Sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time
[Verse 3]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
[Verse 4]
Dream on Brothers, while you can
Dream on Sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time
[Verse 5]
Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger and the desperate cry that tears the night
[Verse 6]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
[Verse 7]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
[Verse 8]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
Written by: Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers
