Once

In the land I now know to be mine With a heart so dark it's near blind When I think about the life I've left behind I still raise no praise to the sky With my eyes on the prize of your bed When all that's needed saying has been said When I think about the life that I have led I lay down to the sound of the wise Once, once is enough to break you Once, once is enough to make you think twice About laying your love out on the line With all I now know to be true And all I've figured out about you All the crazy things a mind can do I lay down to the sound of the truth Once, once is enough to break you Once, once is enough to make you think twice About laying your little love out on the line Oh, I was a child once Oh, I was happy young When all I didn't know needed doing Had been done
