So Long Ago

 

So Long Ago

(album: Little Love Affairs - 1988)


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

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

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

Where did we go?
That long ago?
So long ago
