The Reverend John DeLore - Many Moons Ago lyrics

rate me

It was many, many moons ago when the Queen of Soul was still very young,

when I made my name among the poets and the dreamers with a song about the promised land.

Well, my hands they were tied, and my feet they were in chains,

but my voice remained as free as a bird.

So I sang like there was no such thing as tomorrow,

and the Queen of Soul she hung on every word.

But that was many, many moons ago.

So many, many moons ago.

When I made my name among the poets and the dreamers with a song about the promised land.

It was many many moons ago,

when the dream of love was still very young.

And she came to me among a sea of troubled souls with a song about the promised land.

Newlywed and contraband with hands to overthrow,

but where she learned to dance so slow, heaven only knows.

But it was many, many moons ago.

So many, many moons ago.

When I made my name among the poets and the dreamers with a song about the promised land.
