David Ford A Long Time Ago Lyrics

A Long Time Ago Lyrics

Clouds on the moon, it was a Hollywood sky

I sat on the wall 'til your parents drove by

And I walked to your 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 now only as you were then

It was all such a long time ago



Now was it though?
