In My Fashion Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

In my fashion I have been a good man 

I have loved and I have lost 

Ever after I will be remembered 

In my fashion, in my way 

There have been times, I have seen the reaper 

In the bad times and the good 

I have bent down, I have touched the ground 

Saying prayers and touching wood 

In my fashion, I have been a father 

I have loved and been loved in return 

From the ashes, I have kept the home fires 

Burning after all was said and done 

Now take a look at me 

Do I look like the kind of guy? 

The kind of fool who went to school 

And had to stand on a stool 

Because he couldn't come to terms 

With a slide rule 

Take a look around again 

Is it any different now than it was then? 

In my fashion I have been a good man 

I have loved and I have lost 

And ever after I will be remembered 

In my fashion, in my way 

And ever after I will be remembered 

In my fashion, in my way
