Once I Was

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 lieAnd sometimes I wonder

Just for a while

Will you remember meAnd 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 wordsAnd sometimes I wonder

Just for a while

Will you remember me?
