25 Years Lyrics by Blackmore’s Night

The Village Lanterne

2006

[Verse 1]
25 years since I woke up trembling
25 years since that terrible dream
I could see that the world was crumbling
Nothing is ever as it seems
[Verse 2]
Tried to run but my feet were frozen
Tried to scream, there was no sound
In my head, voices echoing
"Girl, you should know better by now"
[Chorus]
Long ago, far away
In the mist of yesterday
[Verse 3]
You had tried so hard to save me
How do you save someone from themselves?
All those years, wasted wishes
Drowning in the wishing well
[Chorus]
Long ago, far away
In the mist of yesterday
[Verse 1]
25 years since I woke up trembling
25 years since that terrible dream
I could see that the world was crumbling
Nothing is ever as it seems
[Chorus]
Long ago, far away
In the mist of yesterday
[Outro]
Long ago, far away
In the mist of yesterday
Long ago, far away
In the mist of yesterday
