Long Ago Songtext
von The Prodigals

Long, long ago that my true love has gone now
And ′tis long, long ago that he left me alone
Longer still I'll be waiting upon him
My eyes they are dry now but my heart it is a stone

And ′tis well I remember the day that he left
With the fine clothes he donned and the hat on his head
Kindly he caressed me then he turned and he left me
Well I remember the words that he said

Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago


I'll come again when the nights they are dreary
And the days they are short and the wind it is cold
Where is he now and the thoughts that torment me
Who has it now that he comforts and he holds
Oh come back again, oh come back to your true love
'Tis the dream that I have that you walk by my side
We′ll wander the valley so lovely and green
But my heart it is broken and surely I must die

Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago

When I am dead and the tall grass grows o′er me
Be it white with the frost, be it damp with the dew
Little I will care and small will be my sorrow
When I close my eyes and I dream no more of you

Long, long ago that my true love has gone now
And 'tis long, long ago that he left me alone
Longer still I′ll be waiting upon him
My eyes they are dry now but my heart it is a stone


Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
Long, long ago
