Текст песни The Future Ain't What It Used To Be

She had a smile that would make you put your faith in the Lord

She was the unspoken truth I was lookin for,

I was a bitter-hearted twister, I was a refugee,

Just a scared little boy lost at sea.



She said she kissed my lips and she just knew

And in her sunset eyes I saw it too,

but this world has a way of breaking you down

'Til the fire that burned now can't be found.



I guess no one really knows the price that's paid and

There aint no heart that goes scot-free


I hear the bells ringing from far away and

The future aint what it used to be.



When it turned to dust I cannot say,

I guess she lost her faith when I lost my way.

Though I loved her more than I dreamed I could,

A coward now stands where a hero stood.



Chorus



From the outstretched hand that I denied,

To the anguished tears that sunset cried,

From the hurt in the dark, the fear and the doubt,

She couldn't give anymore, her love ran out.
