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
