Long Time Ago (Original) - With Wheel of Sky

A practice take for the upcoming Wheel of Sky CD, Stories.

Lyrics:
Once, I had a kind young man,
Down in the valley.
Once, I had a kind young man -
A long time ago.
Once, I had a kind young man,
Husband and lover,
Once, we had a future planned -
A long time ago.

Chorus:
Cold is the wind
That blows o'er the moorlands;
Green is the grave
Where my Owen sleeps;
And naught in the whole, wide world I wander
Can bring him back to me.

Once we had a cottage home,
Down in the valley;
Once we had a cottage home,
A long time ago.
Once we had a cottage home,
Waiting for children.
Once, we had a fallow hope -
A long time ago.

Chorus

Would that death had come for me,
Down in the valley.
Would that death had come for me,
A long time ago.
Would that death had come for me -
Cruelty, and mercy -
When he took my life from me
A long time ago.

Cold is the wind
That blows o'er the moorland;
Green is the grave
Where my Owen sleeps;
And naught in the whole, wide world I wander
Can bring him back,
Bring him back,
Bring him back
To me.
