There were lights in my dream that lit my way I walked a cobbled street of brick, wet shiny clay And the girl of my dreams is running away Maybe just for today Say say say said... It was so Oh I said it was so I think it so I said it was so I said it was so long ago and far away There are lights in the trees slung so low I watched a squirrel scamper about, slow pause, quick look then go And the blue moon asleep on the land shining slow Always do what it's told (what Newton tells it to do) Told told told told It was so Oh I was told it was so I think it so I was told it was so I was told it was so long ago and far away Far back in distant time Hanging like clothes on a line in a sepia sunshine Of a photograph I found hidden away In a drawer, in an attic of an old house on a foggy shore A foggy shore... There's a star overhead pinpoint it's calling my name It says "Michael, won't you speak up? Come now and hold the flame Hold it high, hold it strong, hold it firm, hold it long And say, say it's all the same." (no it ain't, yes it is, no it ain't...) Say say say said... It was so Well I was told it was so I think it so I was told it was so I was told it was so long ago and far away from today It was so long ago and far away |
