So Long Ago
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 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 to 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 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 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 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 Where did we go? That long ago, so long ago
