When you were seventeen, we were in love   You'd hold my hand   Lived in your father's house    Spent our days playing in the sand   You with your lovely eyes   You with your skin, your lips to kiss   You were so patient then   I was so good, better than this      Gone, gone   Long time, oh, so long ago   Gone, gone   Long time, oh, so long ago      Now you’ve forgotten me    Ran away, found a new name   But I was wondering   why everything’s changed as I stay the same   Sit in my lovely room   watching the clouds, sleeping ‘til noon   Now I don’t sleep so well   All of my dreams are tied to you      Gone, gone   Long time, oh, so long ago   Gone, gone   Long time, oh, so long ago   Gone, gone   Long time, oh, so long ago   Gone, gone   Long time, oh
