Once I Was

Ah hey hey hey

Ah hey hey hey

Once I was a soldier

And I fought on foreign sands for you

Once I was a hunter

Brought home fresh meat for you

Once I was a lover

Searched behind your eyes for you

Soon there'll be another

To tell you I was just a liar

And sometimes I wonder

Just for a little while

Will you remember me?

And though you've forgotten

All our rubbish dreams

I found myself still searching

The ashes of our rooms

For the days when we smiled

The hours ran wild

Magic in her eyes

Silence in her words

And sometimes I wonder

Just occasionally

Will you ever remember me?

Will you remember me?

To not do this

And you get more conscious

Maybe every act you perform increases

Those who suffer know much

Already happened

Already happened

In regard to all those dreams

This is but a dream

Once I was a soldier

And I fought on foreign sands for you

But now I'm getting older

Some people say nicer

Would you like some ice, sir?

Will you remember me?

Would you remember me?
