lyrics

The people you care for
A bar when work was done
A gathering in the square
Each time a battle had been won
A cup of Buckstars joe
At most any time of day
It seems a long time ago
and far, far away

You miss your routine
But it’s gone, you’re in a rut
You’d exercise or clean
If you weren’t sluggish as a Hutt
A wander to and fro?
No, for now, inside you stay
It seems a long time ago
and far, far away

It’s maddening
And saddening
It’s fine if you feel vexed
The best you’ll do
Is make it through
Each little now that’s next

There’s no way to tell
How long distancing will last
We cry and we rebel
Still, it’s our present, not yet past
With courage, strength and patience
I know someday we’ll say
It seems a long time ago
and far, far away
