lyrics
i returned to the village of a long lost friend
we used to play together
spent like the echo of a howling wind that's been and gone
true to the image i had, more or less
allow for age and weather
all that was missing there was something else that's been and gone
a picture fades - all washed out with the rain
i had to make it new again
i lay down a tear to a passing chance
i thought would last forever
but i can laugh, i can put it down to circumstance that's been and gone
but time's the tide that carries me away
i'd have done anything to stay
now i'm leaving the village of a long lost friend
we used to play together
if she calls, if she ever even knows i came, just say i've been and gone
we used to play together
spent like the echo of a howling wind that's been and gone
true to the image i had, more or less
allow for age and weather
all that was missing there was something else that's been and gone
a picture fades - all washed out with the rain
i had to make it new again
i lay down a tear to a passing chance
i thought would last forever
but i can laugh, i can put it down to circumstance that's been and gone
but time's the tide that carries me away
i'd have done anything to stay
now i'm leaving the village of a long lost friend
we used to play together
if she calls, if she ever even knows i came, just say i've been and gone
