Once Upon A Time Lyrics - Pogues

The hour's late and the lights are low 

I'm walkin' home just kicking stones 

I waited at the depot, you never showed 

You missed the last bus hours ago 

 

I remember the first time I saw you on the street 

You looked so pretty, my heart skipped a beat 

I can't wait any longer but I still feel the heat 

I'm down but I'm still on my feet 

 

I walked on down by the old fairground 

Up from the docks, blew a lonely sound 

I sat for a while on the cold hard ground 

Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around 

 

As the past falls behind, up ahead there's a crack 

Of light shinin' bright through the night so black 

Like a runaway train rollin' down the track 

From here there's no turnin' back 

 

Listen to me, baby, once upon a time 

My heart was an ocean, you swam against the tide 

The time is past for grievin', my tears have all run dry 

I'll leave you with my love and now I say goodbye 

 

The bottles broke and the glasses are cracked 

The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked 

The lampshade's busted and the curtains are torn 

The door keeps knockin' but there's nobody home 

 

I stood by the road, brushed a tear from my eye 

Cursed the cars and the rain and the rollin' skies 

I turned around, turned my back on that town 

I never looked back again 

 

Listen to me, baby, once upon a time 

My heart was an ocean, you swam against the tide 

The time is past for grievin', my tears have all run dry 

I'll leave you with my love and now I say goodbye 

 

Listen to me, baby, once upon a time 

My heart was an ocean, you swam against the tide 

The time is past for grievin', my tears have all run dry 

I'll leave you with my love and now I say goodbye
