Long Ago (And Far Away)

Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game

The things are not the same it seems

As in such tender dreams

Slowly passing, sailing ships on Sunday afternoon

Like people on the moon I see

Are things not meant to be?

Where do those golden rainbows end (Where do those rainbows end?)

Why is this song so sad?

Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend (Dreaming the dreams my friend)

Loving the love I've loved to

Love is just a word I've heard when things are being said

Stories my poor head has told me

Cannot stand the cold

And in between what might've been

And what has come to past

A misbegotten guess, alas

And bits of broken glass

Where do your golden rainbows end (Where do those rainbows end?)

Why is the song I sing so sad?

Dreaming the dreams I'd do my friend (Dreaming the dreams my friend)

Loving the love I've loved to love

Love is just a word I've heard when things are being said

Stories my poor head has told me

Cannot stand the cold

Where do your golden rainbows end (Where do those rainbows end?)

Why is the song I sing so sad?

Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend (Dreaming the dreams, my friend)

Loving the love I've loved to

Love is just a word I've heard when things are being said

Stories my poor head has told me

Cannot stand the cold
