Wasting Love

Iron Maiden · Eddie: Head Box [13 Cds] [1998]

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

Sunrise to sunset



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



Spend your days full of emptiness

Spend your years full of loneliness

Wasting love, in a desperate caress

Rolling shadows of nights



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



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

Spend your days full of emptiness

Spend your years full of loneliness

Wasting love, in a desperate caress

Rolling shadows of nights



After Solo



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

Spend your days full of emptiness

Spend your years full of loneliness

Wasting love, in a desperate caress

Rolling shadows of nights
