griffith nanci – so long ago lyrics
by nanci griffith
my daddy sent me on to baton rouge in 1969
he said our love was like a forest fire and he’d end it with a mind
so you rode with us to temple, texas where i did catch the train
and i remember waving back at you from a silted window pane
chorus:
and i said fare thee well true love of mine
and i said fare thee well sweet lips of wine
and you said fare thee well my texas rose
and then you blew a kiss of innocence as the trains began to roll
so long ago
you’d gone off to fight the war when i returned from school
and i traded in my innocence when the springtime came in bloom
and i married for my family; one night i dreamed of you
and you were running from me in the rain down on congress avenue
now i saw you once in a crowded bar and it was christmas time
i was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in ’69
because i live my life in whispers now and i choose to live alone
so i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold
