lyrics

The sun shone down and it lit your hair like fire
Long ago, far away
Bright was the day
So loud, the singing and dancing in the square
All day long, sing the new songs
But the rain came over the mountains
And the wind came in from the sea
And we ran back through gathering gloom
Up all the stairs to your room
And the bed where we lay
Oh bright was the day

I swear I don’t remember the reason why I left
The years do fade, but my mind still strays
After I put the children to bed
I guess that I did not believe what you believed
To your war! My red-haired warrior!
Then men came and blocked off the square
Men came with masks on their faces
And guns pointed in to the crowd
That moved like a wave
Then turned into smoke and then drifted away
And I watched every night on the news for your face
And I find I have nothing to say
These days when I hear those songs play
Long ago and far away
Bright was the day
