James Taylor - Long Ago & Far Away lyrics

Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game<br>But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams<br>Slowly passing sailing ships and sunday afternoon<br>Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be<br><br>Where do those golden rainbows end? <br>Why is this song so sad? <br>Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend<br>Loving the love I love<br><br>To love is just a word I've heard when things are being said<br>Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold<br>And in between what might have been and what has come to pass<br>A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass<br><br>Where do your golden rainbows end? <br>Why is this song I sing so sad? <br>Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend<br>Loving the love I love to love to love to love
