A Long Time Ago Lyrics - Singles - David Ford

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?
