Like I Used To Do

Allan Taylor · So Long [1993]

Does he call you through the darkness from a thousand miles away

Through those sleepless nights of waiting, 'til the night grows into day

And does he tell you how his colours are fading into grey

When he's too far in the distance, too long and far away



And when he comes home from the traveling, can you see it in his eyes

How he's burning from the heat of a thousand hidden fires

And does he take you in a moment, 'til you know your spirit flies

I seen you through the moonlight, 'til the sun is on the rise



Does he come to you in dreams, a travel through the times

Bringing back the memories and melodies and rhymes

Can he do this for you

Like I used to do

Can he do this for you

Like I used to do



Does he bring you spices from the Orient, for sweet fragrance in the night

And a jewel from darkest Africa to sparkle in the light

Perfumed water from the islands to make your body smell so fine

From the sweet, ?? ?? from a flower in Columbine



Does he come to you in dreams, a travel through the times

Bringing back the memories and melodies and rhymes

Can he do this for you

Like I used to do

Can he do this for you

Like I used to do
