Was a Time

There was a time when I could weather
The raging of the storm
There was a time when I could gather
The roses from the thorns
A time when I was certain
A time when I was sure
There was a time that I loved you
I don’t love you anymore
There was a time when every kiss
Was haunted by your ghost
There was a time when happiness
Was but a moment at the most
A time when I could see
A shipwreck from the shore
There was a time that I loved you
I don’t love you anymore
There was a time when I could scale
The highest city walls
There was a time when I could wail
And Jericho would fall
A time when I could stand
And face the tiger’s roar
There was a time that I loved you
I don’t love you anymore
There was a time when I would scatter
My seeds across the ground
There was a time when I would harvest
Anything I found
A time when I was lonesome
A time when I was bored
There was a time that I loved you
I don’t love you anymore
There are times I must confess
I wish we never met
There are times when I feel blessed
To get to love again
Now it’s time to lay to rest
The man I was before
There was a time that I loved you
I don’t love you anymore
