So Long Ago (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
My daddy sent me on to Baton Rouge in 1969[00:00:13]
He said our love was like a forest fire and he'd end it with a mind[00:00:20]
So you rode with us to Temple Texas where I did catch the train[00:00:27]
And I remember waving back at you from a silted window pane[00:00:34]
And I said Fare thee well true love of mine[00:00:41]
And I said Fare thee well sweet lips of wine[00:00:48]
And you said Fare thee well my Texas rose[00:00:55]
And then you blew a kiss of innocence[00:01:02]
As the trains began to roll so long ago[00:01:06]
You'd gone off to fight the war when I returned from school[00:01:24]
And I traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom[00:01:30]
And I married for my family one night I dreamed of you[00:01:37]
And you were running from me in the rain down on Congress Avenue[00:01:44]
And I said Fare thee well true love of mine[00:01:51]
And I said Fare thee well sweet lips of wine[00:01:58]
And you said Fare thee well my Texas rose[00:02:05]
And then you blew a kiss of innocence[00:02:12]
As the trains began to roll so long ago[00:02:16]
Now I saw you once in a crowded bar and it was Christmas time[00:02:33]
I was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in '69[00:02:40]
Because I live my life in whispers now and I choose to live alone[00:02:47]
So I slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold[00:02:54]
And I said Fare thee well true love of mine[00:03:01]
And I said Fare thee well sweet lips of wine[00:03:08]
And you said Fare thee well my Texas rose[00:03:15]
And then you blew a kiss of innocence[00:03:22]
As the trains began to roll so long ago[00:03:26]
Where did we go [00:03:36]
That long ago so long ago[00:03:43]
