Long Ago

notes:
historical: This is another Greg song, but he'll be the first to tell you that the other guys had a huge influence on it. "It started out this really traditional song, and then Brian and Andrew got their hands on it."
CDs/MP3s: It's on Go On, but I don't have a clip, so neither do you. Buy the CD, and your problem will be solved.
special Prodigals info: On Holloween of '99, they all dressed up in 70s clothes for the Holloween party. It was fun because I was an angel and Emma was some sort of cowgirl in a giant pink felt cowboy hat and Amy was Cleopatra, and all our costumes got mixed up. The Cleopatra wig ended up on Andrew and he looked like Rick James. And I have pictures of all of the boys wearing my halo. Someday, unless I am bribed handsomely not to, I might just post my photographs from that night.

Long Ago

Greg: "Here's a song called 'Long Ago' and we'd love it if you sang along. The chorus is easy, it just goes, 'long, long ago, long, long ago, long, long ago."

Long long ago has my true love has gone now,
Long long ago has he left me alone,
And longer still I'll be waiting apon him,
my eyes they are dried now, my heart it is a stone.

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

Chorus: 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 is the thought that torments me
Who is it now that he comforts and beholds?

Oh come back again oh come back to your true love,
'Tis the dream that I have that you'll walk by my side.
We'll wander the valleys so lovely and green.
But my heart it is broken and surely I must die.

Chorus

And when I am dead and the tall grass grows over 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.
