📜 Lyrics
We're caught in the middle, Carol
We're middle-class, we're middle-aged
We were wild in the old days
"Birth of rock 'n' roll" days
Now your kids are comin' up straight, and
My child's a stranger
I bore her, but I couldn't raise her
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
No, nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese café
We'd be dreamin' on our dimes
We'd be playin', "Oh, my love, my darlin'"
One more time
Uranium money is booming in the old hometown now
They're puttin' up sleek concrete
They're tearin' the old landmarks down
Pavin' over brave little parks
Rippin' off Indian land again
How long? How long?
Shortsighted businessmen
Ah, nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese café
We'd be dreamin' on our dimes
We'd be playin', "You give your love so sweetly"
One more time
Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn
This girl of my childhood games
With kids nearly grown and gone
Grown up so fast
Like the turn of a page
We look like our mothers did now
When we were those kids' age
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese café
We'd be dreamin' on our dimes
We'd be playin', "Oh, my love, my darlin'
I've hungered for your touch
Such a long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me"
Time goes, I wonder where the time goes
Where does the time go?
We're middle-class, we're middle-aged
We were wild in the old days
"Birth of rock 'n' roll" days
Now your kids are comin' up straight, and
My child's a stranger
I bore her, but I couldn't raise her
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
No, nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese café
We'd be dreamin' on our dimes
We'd be playin', "Oh, my love, my darlin'"
One more time
Uranium money is booming in the old hometown now
They're puttin' up sleek concrete
They're tearin' the old landmarks down
Pavin' over brave little parks
Rippin' off Indian land again
How long? How long?
Shortsighted businessmen
Ah, nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese café
We'd be dreamin' on our dimes
We'd be playin', "You give your love so sweetly"
One more time
Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn
This girl of my childhood games
With kids nearly grown and gone
Grown up so fast
Like the turn of a page
We look like our mothers did now
When we were those kids' age
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese café
We'd be dreamin' on our dimes
We'd be playin', "Oh, my love, my darlin'
I've hungered for your touch
Such a long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me"
Time goes, I wonder where the time goes
Where does the time go?
