JEFF BUCKLEY - Once I Was lyrics

rate me

(Tim Buckley tribute at St. Ann's church)

A long time ago, when I was a little kid, my mom sat on the bed and put this record on and..it's like the first song I ever heard..that had my father's voice..and I must admit it...I was..six...and I was bored...I was bored, I'm sorry...(....)

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

And soon there'll come another

To tell you I was just a lie

Sometimes I wonder

For a while

Do you ever remember me?

Oh..

Though you have forgotten

All of our rubbish dreams

I find myself searching

Through the ashes of our ruins

For the days when we smiled

And the hours that ran wild

And the magic of our eyes

And the silence of our words

Sometimes I wonder

For a while

Do you ever remember me?
