[Verse 1]
I once knew of a demon
He sung lullabies to the children
He was lonely, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
I once knew of a child
Who walked barefoot down the aisle
He was wounded, mm-mm
[Chorus]
All at once you walk away blindly to another day
All at once you walk away blindly to another day
[Verse 3]
I once knew of a wild lion
Tame with chains to his name
He was lonely, mm-mm
[Verse 4]
I once knew of the grass, it sang with me 'til summer passed
He was healthy, mm-mm
[Chorus]
All at once you walk away blindly to another day
All at once you walk away blindly to another day
[Bridge]
Papa, have you any land?
I’ll sing my song for a merry stand
Poor sheriff, he’s better than this
Poor boy who cried wolf
Killed by the disapproval
Of his village and his town
[Chorus]
All at once you walk away blindly to another day
All at once you walk away blindly to another day
