Long Forgotten Song

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