From the recording Seeing Red
Lyrics
A LONG TIME AGO
(HACE MUCHO TIEMPO)
I can’t the strength to forgive you now
Even though I’ve tried
I see your words, I watch you speak (veo tus palabras)
But I can’t hear you now, deaf and dumb from pride
And I can’t find the time to be near you now
Distance in my head (la distancia)
And I can’t find the words to be spoken now
It’s better left unsaid (no hay palabras)
You were a long time ago (hace mucho tiempo que tú eras mio)
At least a hundred years (parecen ser cien años)
We were too young to know (éramos muy jóvenes para saber)
Strength is wrought from tears (y de las lágrimas, nace la fuerza)
Too young to know, a long time ago (hace mucho tiempo)
Now I can’t a find a way to see it clearly now
Confusion dims my eyes (no entiendo y no puedo sentir nada)
I know the truth, I see the dream
But I can’t feel it now, cold and numb from lies
And I can’t find your face in my memory now (no me acuerdo de ti)
Afraid of what I’ll feel
And I can’t feel your love, it’s wrapped around me now (tengo miedo)
Afraid to touch what’s real
You were a long time ago (hace mucho tiempo)
At least a hundred years
We were too young to know (que eras mio)
Strength is wrought from tears
Too young to know, a long time ago
Hace mucho tiempo
Que eras mio
Hace mucho tiempo
Que eras mio
