So Long Ago |
| My daddy sent me off to Baton Rouge in nineteen-sixty-nine |
| He said our love was like a forest fire and he’d end it with the miles |
| So you rode with us to Temple, Texas where I did catch the train |
| I remember waving back at you through a silted window pane |
| I said,"Fare thee well true love of mine." |
| I said,"Fare thee well, sweet lips of wine" |
| And you said,"Fare thee well my Texas rose." |
| And then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll |
| So long ago |
| You’d gone off to fight the war when I returned from school |
| I traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom |
| I married for my family one night I dreamed of you |
| And you were running from me in the rain down on Congress Avenue |
| I saw you once in a crowded bar it was Christmas time |
| I was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in sixty-nine |
| Because I live my life in whispers now and I choose to live alone |
| So I slipped back to the Avenue and flipped my collar to the cold |
| Where did we go? |
| That long ago? |
| So long ago |
