Gladly to your home again 

Forgive me to the rain 

It's true that I willed 

And wished for you 

Each night upon my bed 

Driving down your road again 

A winding road of green 

Your face a distant memory 

An autumn leaf in spring 



It was a long time ago 

In the time of the lorry low 

It was a long time ago 

With a claw in the days of old 



Following these signs of you 

As sparrows flock around 

I will always drink to you 

When entering this town 

Grievous angels laugh at you 

For leaving me to be 

I see your face in every blueish 

Sky and road and sea 



It was a long time ago 

In the time of the lorry low 

It was a long time ago 

With a claw in the days of old
