JONATHAN RICHMAN
"Ancient Long Ago"

I know a girl who thrills me
What shall I say so you'll know?
Well when I think I her I get memories
That seem like they came from some long lost long ago

Sometimes I'm in the wind
The sun
And I feel love
As if I've known her
From some ancient long ago

Her smile from the first time I saw her
Warms me up
With its glow
All I have to do is be near her
And these feelings come and go

Sometimes I'm in the wind
The sun
And I feel love
The kind of love which seems like it comes from
Some long lost long ago

I am not bound by time or space right now
Where I want to be I can be
Where I want to go I can go
And I know a girl who thrills me
And I can't say why it's so
I think I once used to know her
In ancient ancient long ago

Right now I'm in a garden you know
Overrun with high grass
And now the breeze is blowin
And the trees are swayin
And the branches are rustlin
Because it's falltime
Because it's autumn
And the wind has a smell of roses
It's haunting it's haunting me
It suggests to me some mystery
From some ancient long lost long ago

I am not bound by time or space right now
She might as well be not far away
She might as well now hear what I say
And that's I know a girl who reaches me
And why that's so I can't say
But these feelings I get when I'm near her
I think they're real
'Cause they stay

Sometimes I'm in the wind
The sun
And I feel love
Do you think I've known her from the past?
Do you think I've known her from the ancient?
Do you think I've known her from some long lost long ago?
