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.
