gordon lightfoot – a painter passing through lyrics
once upon a time i was on my own
once upon a time like you’ve never known
once upon a time i would be impressed
once upon a time my life would be obsessed
once upon a time, once upon a day
when i was in my prime, once along the way
if you want to know my secret don’t come runnin’ after me
for i am just a painter p-ssing through in history
yesterday is gone, yesterday’s alright
yesterday belongs in my dreams at night
yesterday is swell, yesterday is great
yesterday is strong, remembering can wait
once upon a time, once upon a day
when i was in my prime, once along the way
if you want to know an answer i can’t turn your life around
for i am just a painter p-ssing through the underground
i was in my stride, always at my game
here comes mister cool along the walk of fame
i was in demand, always in control
the world was in my hands, my touch had turn to gold
once upon a time, i was in a daze
when i was in my prime, once along the way
if you want to know my secret don’t come runnin after me
for i am just a painter p-ssing through in history
now that i am old, let me rest a spell
all that i am told, i can never tell
never in my life, never will it p-ss
i am still alone, remembering at last
once upon a time, once upon a day
when i was in my prime, once along the way
if you want to know an answer i can’t turn your life around
for i am just a painter p-ssing through the underground
if you want to know my secret don’t come runnin after me
for i am just a painter p-ssing through in history
