Once I Was - Judy Collins

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

Soon they'll be another

to tell you I was just a lie

and sometimes

I wonder just for a while will you ever remember me

And though you have forgotten all of our revish dreams

I find my self searching

through the ashes of our ruins

for the days when we smiled

the hours that run wild

with a magic in our eyes and the silence of our words

and sometimes

I wonder just for a while will you ever remember me

remember me, remember me
