Clocks ticking all around their ears
They don't expect a thing
Bridges moving while the river sings
CHORUS:
Long lost love
Where do we go from here
Farther stars
Different atmospheres
The river sings us back from the time
Drawn to heaven with a voice so fine
Final joys final cries
On and off like starlight in her eyes
CHORUS
You know your poetry kept me up all night
Like you I didn't have the heart to die
Still so many things left to say
Long lost love
Where do we go from here
Death's the truth and death's a lie
Love is your only alibis
Mary you'll forget this soon
Where we were and when we sang this tune
CHORUS
Long lost love
Friends of mine they don't hear Clocks ticking all around their ears They don't expect a thing Bridges moving while the river sings CHORUS: Long lost love Where do we go from here Farther stars Different atmospheres The river sings us back from the time Drawn to heaven with a voice so fine Final joys final cries On and off like starlight in her eyes CHORUS You know your poetry kept me up all night Like you I didn't have the heart to die Still so many things left to say Long lost love Where do we go from here Death's the truth and death's a lie Love is your only alibis Mary you'll forget this soon Where we were and when we sang this tune CHORUS Long lost love Explain Request ×
