[00:29.490]Caught in the middle
[00:32.490]Carol, we're middle class
[00:35.490]We're middle aged
[00:37.490]We were wild in the old days
[00:40.490]Birth of rock'n roll days
[00:47.490]Now your kids are coming up straight
[00:51.490]And my child's a stranger
[00:54.490]I bore her
[00:57.490]But, I could not raise her
[01:03.490]Nothing lasts for long
[01:06.490]Nothing lasts for long
[01:10.490]Nothing lasts for long
[01:16.490]Down at the Chinese Cafe
[01:18.490]We'd be dreaming on our dimes
[01:25.490]We'd be playing
[01:26.490]Oh my love, my darling
[01:32.490]One more time
[01:51.490]Uranium money
[01:52.490]Is booming in the old home town now
[01:56.490]It's putting up sleek concret
[02:02.490]Tearing the old landmarks down now
[02:06.490]Paving over brave little parks
[02:09.490]Ripping off Indian land again
[02:15.490]How long how long
[02:18.490]Short sighted business men
[02:20.490]Ah, nothing lasts for long
[02:26.490]Nothing lasts for long
[02:31.490]Nothing lasts for long
[02:37.490]Down at the Chinese Cafe
[02:41.490]We'd be dreaming on our dimes
[02:45.490]We'd be playing
[02:46.490]You give your love, so sweetly
[02:53.490]One more time
[03:11.490]Christmas is sparkling
[03:13.490]Out on Carol's lawn
[03:19.490]This girl of my childhood games
[03:22.490]With kids nearly grown and gone
[03:27.490]Grown so fast Like the turn of a page
[03:36.690]We look like our mothers did now
[03:41.490]When we were those kids'age
[03:46.490]Nothing lasts for long
[03:50.490]Nothing lasts for long
[03:52.490]Nothing lasts for long
[03:57.490]Down at the Chinese Cafe
[04:00.000]We'd be dreaming on our dimes
[04:04.490]We'd be playing
[04:07.790]Oh my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch
[04:15.890]A long lonely time
[04:23.490]And time goes by so slowly
[04:28.890]And time can do so much
[04:33.490]Are you still mine?
[04:40.290]I need your love
[04:45.490]I need your love
[04:51.490]God speed your love to me.

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 coming up straight
And my child's a stranger
I bore her
But, I could not raise her
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
Oh my love, my darling
One more time
Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It's putting up sleek concret
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long how long
Short sighted business men
Ah, nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
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 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 Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
Oh my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch
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.
