Lyrics

A Long, Long Time Ago

We met on the first day of high school back in 75
It was first moment I remember of really being alive
You wouldn't let me carry your books home from school
You said it was too old fashioned
But you let me steal a kiss between classes
taught me real passion

We got married to young they all said
back then what did we know
I got a job when you had our child
and our love somehow still seemed to grow
We were still only children ourselves
but we thought take it day by day

Hard to believe that life really changes,
rearranges our lives in the subtlest way

A long long time ago lovin' you was easy
Now I don't know which way I should go
cause your heart just doesn't see me
A long long time ago lovin' you was easy

The bedroom is dark and haunted by the shadows
of what used to be you and me
Our love lies dead on the floor
a victim of our murderous apathy
Sins of omission, promises treated like lies
I swore it wasn't me you swore it wasn't you

The children are crying as they pack your suitcase
and your walk out the door to your liberty

Now the house is colder then hell
don't know if I can make it a home
I never meant for this horror to happen
this is the first time I've faced this alone

If there's a chance that you'll ever find you way
back down this road
I can only promise I will try to
share your heavy load

A long long time ago lovin' you was easy
Now I don't know which way I should go
cause your heart just doesn't see me
It's a long long way to go when love isn't enough
And I don't know if I a man who can take it
when the goin' gets rough
A long long time ago lovin' you was easy

I wake up in the morning feeling scarred
my blood runs cold
Oh my reflection in the mirror fades
as I instantly grow old
I see the tree of life my sins grew
Paradise is lost without you
