A Long Time Ago

Compositor: David Ford

Clouds on the moon
It was a hollywood sky
I sat on the wall, 'til your parents drove by
And I walked to you door
And remember how you smiled
Well, that was a long time ago

Your fault or mine
It's such a tough one to call
Do you one day look up to see your innocence fall
From a twelve storey window, to the concrete below
It was all such a long time ago

Now your path and mine
They never seem to converge
And now sat here in god-knows-where with a mouthful of words
Well they just sound like noises
If you say them enough
It was all such a long time ago

Now was it though?

In some underground saloon
Where you can always get a drink
There's a girl by the cigarette machine
And I think I'll strike up a conversation
But I wouldn't know how
Doesn't seem such a good idea now...

With the clouds on the moon
Another Hollywood sky
It's time I dragged myself home and to wonder just why
I still think of you know
Only as you were then

It was all such a long time ago

Now was it though?
