lyrics

Once I knew how to stumble
Once I knew how to crawl
Once I knew how to dry my own eyes
Once I knew how to fall

Once I knew, once I knew

Once I was alone, sunken, deep instead at home
With wrapped around my finger, all my memories like trinkets
And I’m screaming in a canyon a farewell to my companions
For a train I said I’d take another day

Once I was a mole in the ground
Then I lit a torch
Someday be a creaking rocking chair
Pressed cane seat adorned

Once I was, once I was

Once I was alone, sunken, deep instead at home
With wrapped around my finger, all my memories like trinkets
And I’m screaming in a canyon a farewell to my companions
For a train I said I’d take another day

Once I knew, once I knew

Once I was alone, sunken, deep instead at home
With wrapped around my finger, all my memories like trinkets
And I’m screaming in a canyon a farewell to my companions
For a train I said I’d take another day
