Once I Was
Tim Buckley
Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
Soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you remember me?
And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
All the days when we smiled
And the hours I ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words
Sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you ever remember me?
Ever remember me?
