NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - "So Long Ago" (Nanci Griffith) My daddy sent me off to Baton Rouge In nineteen sixty-nine He said our love was like a forest fire And he'd end it with the miles So you rode with us to Temple, Texas Where I did catch the train I remember waving back at you Through a silted window pane [Chorus:] I said, "Fare thee well true love Of mine" I said, "Fare thee well sweet lips Of wine" And you said, "Fare thee well my Texas rose" And then you blew a kiss of Innocence as the train began to roll ... So long ago You'd gone off to fight the war when I returned from school I traded in my innocence when the Springtime came to bloom I married for my family... one night I dreamed of you And you were running from me in The rain down on Congress Avenue [Chorus] I saw you once in a crowded bar... It was Christmas time I was frightened by the thunder of Our hearts in sixty nine Because I live my life in whispers now And I choose to live alone So I slipped back to the avenue and Flipped my collar to the cold [Chorus] Where did we go? That long ago? So long ago See more NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics |
