Lyrical Spotlight: David Ford

This song could break your heart.

A Long Time Ago by David Ford

Clouds on the moon
it was a Hollywood sky
I sat on the wall til your parents drove by
and I walked to your door
I remember how you smiled
Well that was a long time ago

Your fault or mine
it's such a tough one to call
Do you one day look up to see your innocence fall,
From a twelve story window, to the concrete below,
it was all such a long time ago

Now your path and mine
they never seem to converge
And now sat here in God-knows-where with a mouthful of words
Well they just sound like noises
if you say them enough,
It was all such a long time ago

Now was it though?

In some underground saloon,
where you can always get a drink
There's a girl by the cigarette machine,
And I think I'll strike up a conversation,
But I wouldn't know how,
Doesn't seem such a good idea now...

With the clouds on the moon,
another Hollywood sky
It's time I dragged myself home and to wonder just why
I still think of you now,
only as you were then

It was all such a long time ago.

Now was it though?
