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 lier
|
|
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
|
