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
