Lyrics A Long Time Ago - David Ford

A Long Time Ago

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?
