Lyrics Once - Roo Panes

Once

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
And your hush was a beauty I’d not seen
And your kindness made a gentle wreck of me
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
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
Some things that you give
You can’t retrieve
And I wait for a day I’ll never see
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
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
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
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
