Once Upon a Long Ago lyrics

Picking up scales and broken chords

Puppy dog tails in the House of Lords

Tell me darling, what can it mean?

Making up moons in a minor key

What have those tunes got to do with me?

Tell me darling, where have you been?

Once upon a long ago

Children searched for treasures

Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure

Such pleasure

Blowing balloons on a windy day

Desolate dunes with a lot to say

Tell me darling, what have you seen?

Once upon a long ago

Children searched for treasures

Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure

My pleasure

Playing guitars on an empty stage

Counting the bars of an iron cage

Tell me darling, what can it mean?

Picking up scales and broken chords

Puppy dog tails in the House of Lords

Help me darling, what does it mean?

Once upon a long ago...
