Once upon a time you whispered

Softly in my ear

Loving words and fairytales

That I longed to hear

I gave you my body and soul

And you took control

As you slowly swept me up and

Carried me away

You told me pretty lies

As I held onto you tight

You knew how to get your way

Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace

Long ago you used to want me

Now it's all so far away

Every now and then I drown

Thoughts of yesterday

And the fool's paradise

That you blew away

I feel you beside me again

And remember when

You came to my window on a dark

And stormy day

Baby, I need you now

Tonight I'm crumbling down

Sinking in the memories

Shadows of you keep washing over me

Long ago

You used to want me and now it's so

Far away

Yes, long ago

You used to want me
