Leonard Cohen Seems So Long Ago Lyrics

Seems So Long Ago Lyrics

It seems so long ago, 

Nancy was alone, 

looking ate the Late Late
show 

through a semi-precious stone. 

In the House of Honesty 

her father was on trial, 

in the House of Mystery 

there was no
one at all, 

there was no one at all. 

It seems so long ago, 

none of us were strong; 

Nancy wore green stockings 

and she
slept with everyone. 

She never said she'd wait for us 

although
she was alone, 

I think she fell in love for us 

in nineteen sixty
one, 

in nineteen sixty one. 



It seems so long ago, 

Nancy was alone, 

a forty five beside her head, 

an open
telephone. 

We told her she was beautiful, 

we told her she was
free 

but none of us would meet her in 

the House of Mystery, 

the House of Mystery. 



And now you look around you, 

see
her everywhere, 

many use her body, 

many comb her hair. 

In
the hollow of the night 

when you are cold and numb 

you hear her
talking freely then, 

she's happy that you've come, 

she's happy
that you've come.
