Once Upon A Long Ago

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 treasure
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 treasure
. . .
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
long
long ago
children searched for treasure
