Song Of Long Ago - Live
Well, right about now
I think I'm gonna get some help
Would you welcome please Charlie Larkey on bass
This is, er, about some old friends
It's called a "Song Of Long Ago"
Not to be confused with "Long Ago And Far Away"
You see, I wrote this under the heavy influence of James Taylor
Whispering wind came uninvited
Looking for somewhere else to go
Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
Aren't you someone I should know?
Memory's flame is soon ignited
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
Quietly friends are reunited
Singing a song of long ago
Cry, cry for someone
Who just can't be happy
And be glad you can feel enough to cry
Younger than always, time descended
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
And now that they've been a long time planted
What must I do to help them grow?
If it had been as I intended
I wouldn't have the peace I know
Loving the people I've befriended
And singin' a song of long ago
As it began, so I will end it
Singing a song of long ago
Loving the people I've befriended
And singin' a song of long, long, long ago
I think I'm gonna get some help
Would you welcome please Charlie Larkey on bass
This is, er, about some old friends
It's called a "Song Of Long Ago"
Not to be confused with "Long Ago And Far Away"
You see, I wrote this under the heavy influence of James Taylor
Whispering wind came uninvited
Looking for somewhere else to go
Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
Aren't you someone I should know?
Memory's flame is soon ignited
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
Quietly friends are reunited
Singing a song of long ago
Cry, cry for someone
Who just can't be happy
And be glad you can feel enough to cry
Younger than always, time descended
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
And now that they've been a long time planted
What must I do to help them grow?
If it had been as I intended
I wouldn't have the peace I know
Loving the people I've befriended
And singin' a song of long ago
As it began, so I will end it
Singing a song of long ago
Loving the people I've befriended
And singin' a song of long, long, long ago
