letra de so long ago - nanci griffith

Loading...

my daddy sent me on to baton rouge in 1969
he said our love was like a forest fire and he’d end it with a mind
so you rode with us to temple, texas where i did catch the train
and i remember waving back at you from a silted window pane

and i said,? fare thee well true love of mine?
and i said,? fare thee well sweet lips of wine?
and you said,? fare thee well my texas rose?
and then you blew a kiss of innocence
as the trains began to roll, so long ago

you’d gone off to fight the war when i returned from school
and i traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom
and i married for my family, one night i dreamed of you
and you were running from me in the rain down on congress avenue

and i said,? fare thee well true love of mine?
and i said,? fare thee well sweet lips of wine?
and you said,? fare thee well my texas rose?
and then you blew a kiss of innocence
as the trains began to roll, so long ago

now i saw you once in a crowded bar and it was christmas time
i was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in ’69
because i live my life in whispers now and i choose to live alone
so i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold

and i said,? fare thee well true love of mine?
and i said,? fare thee well sweet lips of wine?
and you said,? fare thee well my texas rose?
and then you blew a kiss of innocence
as the trains began to roll, so long ago

where did we go?
that long ago, so long ago
