I sometimes wish that you and I

could sail back to the start

before the storms that lashed our lives

made shipwrecks of our hearts

To summer nights and starry skies

the taste upon my tongue

of long ago and far away

The days when we were young

 

It seems so infinitely sad

that after all we've known

When I lay down beside you now

I feel so all alone

For there were times

we talked all night

Until the morning sun

But it was long ago and far away

In the days when we were young

 

Interlude

 

Now I'd give anything at all

if we could start again

Sometimes it seems we're strangers now

at best, we're just good friends.

But I recall when we were more,

so tell me what's become of

long ago and far away

and the days when we were young
