A Long Time Ago Lyrics by David Ford
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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?
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?
