Long Forgotten Song Songtext

von The Thrills

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 that church you're leaning on
The wind blew heavy, the wind blew strong

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
