Once

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I tried to part the seas

Find wonders for your love

I sought the best of me

But all I showed was what I couldn't be

[Pre-Chorus]

And your hush

Was a beauty I'd not seen

And your kindness

Made a gentle wreck of me

[Chorus]

Once hope found hope

And once I travelled winter with the sun

Your heart was my home

What's left of me will roam into tomorrow, my love

For tomorrow, there's love, there's love

[Verse 2]

I climbed the highest heights

Where the sightless go to see

Fixed fate with steely eyes

And told her it was not the time for me

[Pre-Chorus]

Some things

That you give, you can't retrieve

And I wait

For a day I'll never see

[Chorus]

Once hope found hope

And once I travelled winter with the sun

Your heart was my home

What's left of me will roam into tomorrow, my love

For tomorrow, there's love, there's love

[Verse 3]

It was like the moon tide

Always rise and then fall

But now it's dead and I'm done

And I won't cry no more

[Non-Lyrical Vocal Bridge]

[Verse 4]

I the lonely captive stand

With only memories to hold my hand

But I'll not seek to change a thing

It was the best and worst of times

Beneath the yellow clouded moon

Where buried hopes rise from their tombs

Whispers call to heaven above

You caught me up in the windy arms of love

Oh, you caught up in the windy arms of love

[Outro]

You caught me up in the windy arms, the windy arms of love

Oh, you caught me up in the windy arms, the windy arms of love

Oh, you caught me up in the windy arms, the windy arms of love

Oh, you caught me up in the windy arms, the windy arms of love
