The bend in the road
Where the boy use to go collecting firewood
In the Winter with the sledge in the Snow
Coming along
Down the road where the pitieps used to be
Where the boy would seek adventure
And blackberry's
Lying along is the only boy awake isolation in the dormitory of this ancient place
The panels of wood
Tell him of all those mysteries of past
The giant window frames his vision
Of the moon in the glass
So long ago
So far away
That's how you see it now but you know how this things change
You know it was never like that
Know it was never like that
Looking outside,he pictures the distant lands
Where he will go
Like a troubadour or a sailor
Long a go
The years go by
And the boy becomes a man
But still in side
Somethings calling him
Like a moon calls the tide
So long ago
So far away
That's how you see it now but you know how this things change
You know it was never like that
Know it was never like that
Driving along
Here the old smoky town
Used to bee
The moon is in his mirror
He knows a certain kind of piece
Red in the light
And the blue flashing light
On strangers faces
As they gear inside the wreckage
Never knowing why smiled
So long ago
So far away
That's how u see it now but you know how this things change
You know it was never like that
Know it was never like that
