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
Twas 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
