THE GIRL FROM LONG AGO

Somewhere on down the road you might meet the girl
Who’ll set you free
A friend of mine from long ago she said she’s wait for me
It really doesn’t matter
She swore she’d wait for me
The girl from long ago now she cries most bitterly

So if you see her, tell her this
I take back every single kiss
And every promise that she made
Lies there beside the road

Somewhere on down the road you might meet the girl with
Magic eyes
A friend of mine from long ago
She’ll show you tricks
One-two-three
Really should have seen her seen her mystery
Guess it doesn’t matter some things are meant to be

I still see them now and then
They’re trying to get up again
But once they’re broken, once they’re played
Stay there beside the road

(Somewhere on down the road) you might meet the girl who’ll
Steal your mind
The girl from long ago the truth she still denies

And if you love her make it last
Love’s never meant to go too fast
And every prayer I ever prayed
Lies dead beside the road

I still say them soft and low
As if I’ll ever really know
The price of magic never paid, lies
There beside the road
