Strawbs - That Which Once Was Mine lyrics

rate me

If in some capricious moment<br />

I should give you cause to fear<br />

Then you have but to remember<br />

That my being here is mere fortune<br />

For the rules have laid down<br />

To guide the thoughts of those who stray.<br />

<br />

If in some deserted hour<br />

We should murmur last goodbyes<br />

With the snowflakes falling softly<br />

As the tears well in your eyes<br />

Then we kiss but once and walk away<br />

Never turning round<br />

And the snow falls on our footsteps<br />

Leaving nothing to be found.<br />

<br />

And my life is yet determined<br />

By the span of what it holds<br />

And the span grows ever shorter<br />

As my lifetime folds away.
