Lyrics
Seventeen years and seventeen days
Since your love has gone away
Things here haven’t been quite the same
For seventeen years and seventeen days
This train I ride came off its track
Never knew love could hurt like that
Walkin’ on foot ain’t gettin’ me far
How long will it take ‘til I get where you are
Another one of life’s cruel twists of fate
Feels like these chains have tripled in weight
If somehow I could summon the strength I lack
Cuz lovin’ you ain’t never gonna bring you back
And though I try to live my life
Like a child I hide under a starlit sky
But I don’t wish upon your star
I know where you are, true love’s guitar
Seventeen years and seventeen days
Since God took your love away
Things here haven’t been quite the same
For seventeen years and seventeen days
Though I try to live my life
Like a child I hide under a starlit sky
But I don’t wish upon your star
I know where you are, true love’s guitar
But I don’t wish upon your star
I know where you are, true love’s guitar
