These past 7 years have tossed me up and down
They all disappear when I turn around
I find it hard to stay awake, I find it hard to sleep
These past 7 years have knocked me off my feet
I have never known a feeling such as this
Every day that comes and goes I work and love and try
But I will never know the comfort of a lie
Oh, the comfort of a lie, dear, is like a bed of coals
No matter how I try, dear, I wish that you were home
These past 7 years have tossed me up and down
They all disappear when I turn around
I find it hard to stay awake, I find it hard to sleep
Cause these past 7 years have knocked me off my feet
