Once I Was Performed by Eric Andersen 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 ever 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 ever remember me Tim Buckley Tim Buckley Music ASCAP Eric Andersen Waves: Great American Song Series Vol.2 (2005) Appleseed Records - APR 1092 Running time 4:02
