Jeff Buckley 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

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

and sometimes i wonder
just for
a while
will you remember me
