The time frame JT wrote this was a few years after Fire and Rain....another beautiful sad song ....that was inspired by the suicide of a friend in New York while he was living in England recording at Apple (the beatles) studio....still fighting his own drug dependency. I don't know if "Long Ago and Far Away" was about the same thing but I know that to me....a 17 year old in High School in 1971....the song spoke about a world in which none of my dreams had come true. It was my song.
