Far Away, Long Ago

far away, long ago still, it glows as an ember what my heart once longed to know a love it yearns to remember... far away, long ago there was a song that someone sang what my ears want again to hear a dance it yearns to remember... far away, long ago someone held me safe and warm hearts entwined for a short time while drops fell from a silver storm a rain it yearns to remember... far away, long ago what once held fast has been let go love slipped away on moonless night empty thoughts still holding on to a now cold pillow case a dream it yearns to remember...
