Long Forgotten Song

Out of time, out of love
I followed you away from home
To a great light across the sea burning and welcoming all those that 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 a church you're leaning on
The wind blew heavy, the wind blew strong
Everywhere I look around; well they're pulling beautiful buildings down
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
Not so long ago
But people, they learn to let go

Ahh, ahh...
