Like so Long Ago by Crooked Constellation Lyrics
Well I lost myself in the words all about a year ago
It was down beneath the birch trees and that never ending snow
And I came across this old man sitting 'neath a big spruce tree
And he looked at me with his eyes so clear
He said "Hell, boy, you're gonna lose yourself out here"
And we say whoa, don't you let your mind grow cold
Don't ever lose yourself like I did that day in the snow
And whoa, well out there you'll find your fears
And my darlin', it'll drive you straight to tears
Oh like it did for me so long ago
I've always been a ramblin' man, I guess (?) there ain't a doubt
I keep my legs unfettered, so much better for walkin' about
Oh my years and years of ramblin' it has worn away the souls
Of these shoes I bought when I still had a home
Of these shoes I bought when I still had a home
And we say whoa, don't you let your mind grow cold
Don't ever lose yourself like I did that day in the snow
And whoa, well out there you'll find your fears
And my darlin', it'll drive you straight to tears
Oh like it did for me so long ago
And it's too late for me to turn from this path that I have worn
And I will not go back home where my body still is warm
Each breath I take, a mistake, leads me further away
From that old man, and I still can hear him say
"I was just like you, I was tried and true, saw the world in a day
When I turned around and settled down there was no place I'd stay
My feet had grown to be restless, to be anchored in one place
So each home I built I'd leave with (?)
To be right back with you out in the cold"
And we say whoa, don't you let your mind grow cold
Don't ever lose yourself like I did that day in the snow
And whoa, well out there you'll find your fears
And my darlin', it'll drive you straight to tears
Oh like it did for me so long ago
It was down beneath the birch trees and that never ending snow
And I came across this old man sitting 'neath a big spruce tree
And he looked at me with his eyes so clear
He said "Hell, boy, you're gonna lose yourself out here"
And we say whoa, don't you let your mind grow cold
Don't ever lose yourself like I did that day in the snow
And whoa, well out there you'll find your fears
And my darlin', it'll drive you straight to tears
Oh like it did for me so long ago
I've always been a ramblin' man, I guess (?) there ain't a doubt
I keep my legs unfettered, so much better for walkin' about
Oh my years and years of ramblin' it has worn away the souls
Of these shoes I bought when I still had a home
Of these shoes I bought when I still had a home
And we say whoa, don't you let your mind grow cold
Don't ever lose yourself like I did that day in the snow
And whoa, well out there you'll find your fears
And my darlin', it'll drive you straight to tears
Oh like it did for me so long ago
And it's too late for me to turn from this path that I have worn
And I will not go back home where my body still is warm
Each breath I take, a mistake, leads me further away
From that old man, and I still can hear him say
"I was just like you, I was tried and true, saw the world in a day

And we say whoa, don't you let your mind grow cold
Don't ever lose yourself like I did that day in the snow
And whoa, well out there you'll find your fears
And my darlin', it'll drive you straight to tears
Oh like it did for me so long ago
