Out of time, out of love
I followed you away from home.
To a great light across the sea burning and welcoming all those who 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
Oh, 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.
Ahh, ahh...
