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 story 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?
