Long Forgotten Song Lyrics - The Thrills

Out of time, out of love 

I followed you away from home 

To a great light across the sea 

Burning and welcoming 

All those that stray 

I know a long forgotten song 

But everybody still sings along, along 

All the boys took the bait 

And followed you all the way 

Summer came and summer went 

I curse the days my lookout spent 

On small time girls 

I know a long forgotten song 

But everybody still sings along 

Oh not so long ago 

But people, they learn to let go 

Turned down by the old canal 

The rain fell hard on the cobblestone 

There's that church you're leaning on 

The wind blew heavy, the wind blew strong 

Everywhere I look around 

Well, they're pulling beautiful buildings down 

Oh, everywhere I look around 

I see your face 

I know a long forgotten song 

Where everybody still sings along 

To a long forgotten song 

Where everybody still sings along 

Oh, not so long ago 

But people, they learn to let go
