Going To the Land of Long Ago
Going to the Land of Long Ago
Somehow, someway
Many years hence from today
Will I feel myself unraveling,
Unraveling and traveling
To the Land of Long Ago?
What will leave and what will stay
In that place so faraway,
Will I go unfathoming
Adrift as I go traveling,
To the Land of Long Ago?
In the Land of Long Ago
I will live among the things I know;
Though I've known you well
You now seem strange,
Yet I can still find you, I can tell
For the Land of Long Ago is well arranged.
There where the Past is ever Present
Where everything tastes bittersweet
Where the painful mixes with the pleasant
Opposing forces swell and meet
To form the Land of Long Ago.
What once was distant shall then draw near
As separations disappear
And I shall have my dreams to hold
As my days burn down to gold
As I drift upon the seas of Long Ago.
