You Once Told Me

Baby
Maybe I'll never know
How far I've let things go
But I woke up today
Pieces slipping away

Lately
It all seems so cynical
It could have been mythical
But the autumn has come
And your plans are undone

Lazy
I've never worked so hard
I never dealt your cards
All those queens and the pawns
That you left all forlorn

Hazy
Hazy old memory
Like the turn of the century
Betrayed by a kiss
And I'm thankful for this

You once told me the wind would hold me up
How I fall through thin air

Baby
Maybe I'll never see
What good this song is to me
But a song might live on
Even when we have gone

Lately
It all seems so ominous
Hey, that's being generous
So drink up my girl
It's a sorry old world

You once told me the wind would hold me up
How I fall through thin air
