HE ONCE
Words & Music by Jennifer Schaffer
© 2011 SOCAN


He once
Walked the streets of London
Walked the streets of London
With a swagger and a sway
And he once
Danced away his demons
He danced away his demons
‘Til the dawning of the day

He once
Dazzled all the darlings
Dazzled all the darlings
With that sparkle in his eye
And he once
Laughed as all the leeches
Laughed as all the leeches
Sucked his spirit dry

But how many flights will he
Take to get back home
To ramble or to roam
Across the unforgiving seas
And how many cheeks must he turn
‘Til he can see
That this once illusive love
Is waiting here with me

He once
Gave up all the gaming
Gave up all the gaming
And he let his pieces lie
He once
Offered up his essence
He offered up his essence
And I took with a sigh
I took it with a sigh
I took it with a sigh
I took it with a sigh
