Buckley Tim Once I Was Lyrics

Once I Was Lyrics

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 be another

 To tell you I was just a lie 

 

 (chorus) 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

 For the days when we smiled

 And the hours that ran wild

 With the magic of our eyes

 And the silence of our words 

 

 (chorus)
