Once

I tried to part the sea,

Find wonders for your love,

I sought the best of me,

But all I showed was what I couldn't be,

Your hush was a beauty I'd not seen,

Your kindness made a gentle wreck of me

Once hope found hope,

And once I traveled winter with the sun

Your heart was my home,

The rest 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 told her it was not the time for me,

But 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 traveled winter with the sun

Your heart was my home,

The rest 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 its dead and I'm done,

And I won't cry for you no more

I the lonely captive stand with only memories to hold my hand,

But I'd not change a single thing twas the best and worst of time,

Beneath the yellow clouded moon,

Where buried hopes rise from their tombs,

The whispers call to heaven above,

That you caught me up in the windy arms of love

That you caught me up in 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

Oh you caught me up in the windy arms, the windy arms of love
