So long ago (Auld Lang Syne)

It was long ago, and I believed unquestioningly,
So long ago, I still accepted it all,
But then the shock, as I saw it differently,,
Strange how the cards, they sometimes fall.
Not giving up, but shaken to the core -
Just a bit of it, yeah, I guess I saw
 
In the good times, they appear around every bend
A clap on the back, ignoring your dismay,
without a bother, wanting to be your best friend,
And then just pass you by, on the very next day.
It's been a long time, that I stood without a clue
Feeling downhearted, couldn’t see what to do
 
I remember back then, like it was in a dream,
Didn’t have a clue of how or where to look,
Deep in the woods, I could not see the trees
Don’t remember what I was looking for.
Blind to all else, I was just following where it led,
Carrying me on, ‘til I picked-up the thread.
 
Back then, I didn’t have even bad luck
Not a trace, nothing no my empty plate
On this side, John Steinbeck, beyond, Joseph Conrad,
In the middle, me - pretty much checkmate.
It was once-upon-a-time, but I recall it anyway
Now it seems to me like it was just yesterday.
 
[Chorus]
So long ago, so long, a long time ago...
 
Don’t remember the last time I picked-up the brush,
Or would a song ever really be enough,
Am I now where I wanted to get to be?
and did my colors dry out along the way?
No matter if you sing or paint, it still comes out blue,
Not a bit matters, but what you do
 
[Chorus]
 
It was long time ago, with you at the graveside
A long time ago when we spoke those words,
And from me to you, our thoughts strangely entwined -
But so long ago now, I can scarcely call it to mind
I really believe, someone is waiting for you above
"I’ll grant you that", okay, sort of...
