Seems So Long Ago, Nancy Lyrics - Live Songs - Leonard Cohen

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
