[ti:A Long Time Ago]

[al:You Don't Mess Around with Jim]
[00:08.96]Seems like such a long time ago,
[00:13.63]I was walking on a lonely road.
[00:17.68]Getting tired of dreaming alone,
[00:22.08]like all the lonely people I had known.
[00:25.99]Seems like such a long time ago,
[00:30.88]there was no one who would share my song.
[00:34.64]I was just a boy far from home,
[00:39.25]I became a man when you came along.
[00:43.36]We spent the whole night talking.
[00:47.57]You said you'd like to see the sun rise.
[00:51.78]But in the gold of morning,
[00:55.31]was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes.
[01:08.18]I was so afraid to touch you,
[01:09.96]thought you were too young, you know.
[01:12.09]So I just watched you sleeping.
[01:16.26]Then you woke and said to me,
[01:18.11]The night is cold, it frightens me.
[01:21.13]I could sleep so easy next to you.
[01:27.78]Wasn't very long ago,
[01:32.19]you said that you would like to share my road.
[01:36.06]Then you started singing my song.
[01:41.05]Spent so many nights a-waiting,
[01:42.92]Lets not spend a moments wasting time,
[01:45.76]because we have very far to go.
[01:49.37]I will go if you will take me,
[01:51.22]I have never had a lover.
[01:53.18]I am young but I am so alone.
[01:59.92]We spent the whole night talking.
[02:08.17]But in the gold of morning...
