As Once I Was Lyrics by Alabaster dePlume

Copernicus

2012

There they will be
As once I was
As once
I was?
On the rotten longing
And the wronging long forgotten
On the dross
Hope that want that wants wants
Loss
As once I was
And as they do
And as they mean to do
And as I was once won't to, too
What one wants and
What one once was wanting
And what wanting was
On the rotten longing
On the wronging long forgotten
What wanting was
Garrot the lot
Not forgot, but lost
The loss?
The lot
What once I would have had to have got
Once
Which was
While the while
One day
Will be
Once
What?
A swan's eye
A song's cry
A solemn sigh
As once I
Was
