Meet Laureltide Green Resident Michael Anthony

Composer
"Exile"

Whereabouts unknown. A Laureltide Green Post Office box is kept active but receives no delivery. There is debate if he will ever return. The love of his life remains in Laureltide Green.

lyrics

Elizabeth, Long Ago
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)

Long ago we wondered
Long ago we blundered
Long ago is far away right now

Long ago I held you
Long ago I loved you
Long ago I thought you'd be around

Long ago I waited and when you hesitated
Long ago you found another soul

Long ago has left me
Long ago has swept me back in time to a long time ago

Only now and maybe here and then
Do I wish we could go back again
Only now we're older and it's done
And I still have not found anyone

Long ago we parted
Long ago I started what is now a never-ending woe

Long ago I never realized I'd ever write this down
I understand it now

Long ago I promised you could have my heart
And I will keep my word to let you know

Long ago will never come again
Forever I will think about our long ago

No, long ago will never come again
Forever I will think about our long ago
