Fiddler's Green – Long Gone lyrics

The first time I met you
Your eyes shining brightly
I'll never forget that glance and your smile
We sat on the floor
Talked five hours or more
When the sun rose at seven we kissed for a while

And it's long gone that we shared our lives
And it's long gone that I met you
Well it's long gone that you said you love me
But now it's time to forget you

That night was a mild one
The best day of summer
A bottle of wine and your head on my chest
A warm wind was blowing
When the sun started glowing
You told me you're going and wished me the best

I couldn't forget you
That night and our closeness
For me it just seemed I'd known you for years
In a hundred miles distance
I felt your existence
So far from my home I knew you were here

And it's long gone that we shared our lives
Long gone that I met you
And it's long gone that you said you love me
But now it's time to forget you

Time went by slowly
My mind was still covered
With thoughts about you and this wonderful day
Sometimes I came down
To your beautiful town
We met for coffee, you asked me to stay

It took some more years
Till we got together
A long time not knowing and things kept on going
In the end we succeeded
It was you that I needed
We found each other, got finally near

And it's long gone that we shared our lives
And it's long gone that I met you
Well it's long gone that you said you love me
But now it's time to forget you

It's all right, we went different ways
I don't feel any sorrow
And it's all right what happened those days
But I hope I won't meet you tomorrow

It's easy to think
That the hearts of two ramblers
Would fit to each other like one and another
But living your dreams
So far as it seems
Is likely to hurt your lover's esteem

And it's long gone that we shared our lives
And it's long gone that I met you
Well it's long gone that you said you love me
But now it's time to forget you

Now you're far gone, I don't know where you living
Surely I won't await you
You're far gone, not a damn I am giving
I loved you once but now I hate you
