I Once Was A Man

I used to be an older man
Oh god when did i get so young
I had a tremor in both hands
and ashes in my lungs
Is that my daughter speaking
I’d like to talk to my son
They tell me i’ve been dreaming
My life has just begun
But i once was a man
I once was a father
And i could cook you dinner like no other
In our house in the country
With a pocket full of dollars
And you couldn’t have been a better mother
I was older then
Back when i was your man
I caught myself looking for
Those old boots beside my door
That you gave me
In a place so far away
They were all worn in
The sole was getting thin
And full of holes
But i loved them anyway
Where are you now my darling
Do the children know i’m gone
Can you hear my singing
Or did i only know you in a song
But I once was a man
I once was a father
And i could cook you dinner like no other
In our house in the country
With a pocket full of dollars
And you couldn’t have been a better mother
I was older then
Back when i was your man
(interlude)
I once was a man
I once was a father
And i could cook you dinner like no other
In our house in the country
With a pocket full of dollars
And you couldn’t have been a better mother
I was older then
Back when i was your man

Paper Child

Darling try your hardest
And you'll find where my heart is
On the wind rides all the while
Your paper child
Waiting for a sign
Your paper child
Folded in half
Hidden somewhere in your pocket
The face of a man
Cut in the form of a heart shaped locket
Ohh
What’s he mean to you
Whatcha gonna do
When your heart crumbles like sand
One grain left in the palm of your hand
So draw me as i am to you
Yesterday’s tears will turn to
This morning dew
Darling try your hardest
We’ll see who falls the farthest
On the wind rides all the while
Your paper child
Waiting for a sign
Your paper child
So draw me as i am to you
Yesterday’s tears will turn to
This morning dew
