Oh not so long ago
I know a long forgotten song
All the boys took the bait
Summer came and summer went
Turned down by the old canal
Where everybody still sings along
Oh, everywhere I look around
Burning and welcoming
Everywhere I look around
The wind blew heavy, the wind blew strong
There's that church you're leaning on
I know a long forgotten song
I know a long forgotten song
All those that stray
I curse the days my lookout spent
But people, they learn to let go
Where everybody still sings along
But everybody still sings along, along
To a long forgotten song
Well, they're pulling beautiful buildings down
But everybody still sings along
And followed you all the way
I see your face
The rain fell hard on the cobblestone
On small time girls
To a great light across the sea
Oh, not so long ago
