A long time ago
Well this was something new
Thirteen in the rain
Seattle on my brain

‘Misty-eyed I go to say good-bye
And for a moment’s time, I feel I’m not alive
Resolved to solve, Unite untie
For this I’d kill my time, For this I feel I’d die’

Hi there giving tree
Where you been so long?
I have missed your face
Ears deaf to your song

Old man banjo hand
Play that scale again
Mountain in my eyes
Tennessee on my skin, again

Chorus (‘For this I would die’)

(Chorus #2)
‘Waves crashing in, I hear a sound friend
Won’t you come along, take me away again
Sun sets in her eyes, clearly sinking
Sex on the sand, nature back again
Now is getting harder, I will sleep well
Expel my link to God, and she will sleep well
Nothing less than love, and you will hear tales
Follow them and sleep to dream my friend’

Well I recall a sky so blue Chorus#2, Chorus #1
September in the air Lasting life, Dance in life
Nothing much to gain Aching heart, Embrace my time
New York on my brain And let go
