Once I Was Lyrics by Eric Andersen

Waves

2005

[Verse 1]
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]
Sometimes I wonder
For a while
Will you ever
Remember me?

[Verse 2]
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]
Sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you ever
Remember me?

[Outro]
Ever remember me
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
