What Once Was... Songtext

von Billy Sheehan

Everything I use to know
Starts to slip away
Pull it out from under me
Take apart the day

Bathing in the afterglow
Gone without a trace
Reaching down to feel the floor
Falling from your grace

I think you know my position
I couldn't possibly hesitate
I'd really like to sit and listen
But it's a little bit too late

Cause what once was a will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
What once was will never be again
You shout it out as you descend

Living in a blue seclusion
Surrounded by a crowd
Coming to a new conclusion
Keep your voices down
Watch the faithful gather round
They wouldn't miss the show
Selling saviors by the pound
Everybody knows

I think you know my position
I couldn't possibly hesitate
I'd really like to sit and listen
But it's a little bit too late

Cause what once was will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
What once was will never be again
You shout it out as you descend
