van halen - year to the day lyrics

i woke up to yet another day
grown to expect, expect more of the same
except for, for a subtle change
and that is, i'm slowly fading away

harvest moon, soon will pass
crop is gone, left only chaff
a bitter pill, and an overcast
a flag unfurled, at half mast
ahhhhh...

a year to the day
since you went away
a moment in time
when you were last mine
i'm here standing still
yeah! with more time to kill
hey! i barely survived
yeah, i barely survived

like pouring salt on an open wound
memory filling, filling this empty room
i'm as bare, i'm as bare, as a barren womb
still like the air, in a whitewash tomb
ahhhhh...

a year to the day
since you went away
a moment in time
when you were last mine
i'm here standing still
hey! with more time to kill
i barely survived
yes, i barely survived

(guitar solo)

ahhhhh...

a year to the day
since you went away
a moment in time
when you were last mine
i'm here standing still
been standin' still. with more time to kill
hey! i barely survived
i barely survived

a year to the day!
year to the day!
yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!
a year to the day!
three sixty-five!
three sixty-five, five, fiiive!
ahhhhh...
