Once I Was
Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Eric Andersen; Tram



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 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
