Once I Was Lyrics - Paradise - 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 

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
