Lyrics
I woke up this morning
And the first thing that I see
Is a newspaper article that appears
To be laughing at me
It's a funny time and place
These days
I have to agree
Like putting a puzzle together
And how
Such A Long Time Ago
The things we thought we knew
Such A Long Time Ago
The things we thought were true
Such A Long time Ago
The thing we thought we knew
Now and back then
At last I dream at night
Won't you come with me?
We'll find a starlit night
On some strange island
I woke up this morning
And the first thing that I see
Is a newspaper article that appears
To be laughing at me
It's a funny time and place
These days
I have to agree
Like putting a puzzle together
And how
Such A Long Time Ago
The things we thought we knew
Such A Long Time Ago
The things we thought were true
Such A Long time Ago
The thing we thought we knew
Now and back then
At last I dream at night
Won't you come with me?
We'll find a starlit night
On some strange island
