It was a month and a day   It seems a lifetime away   When we first met in town and spent a night   We drank and we talked until the music was stopped   And the barman came and turned back on the light   We arranged again to meet   And as I walked off down the street   I swear that I felt ten feet tall   Was I dizzy from the wine?   Or maybe I just missed the signs   ‘Cause now you won’t return my calls   I hope that one day when you’re ancient   Preparing for another lonely night   You close your eyes for one last time   And you see me in my prime   The great lost love of my life
