Once upon a time in a former life I must have been a fisherman's wife I remember the boat - I remember the load One day he was gone and I was alone five hundred years from now I was floating in a boat on the deep blue sea five hundred years from now but that wasn't really me Once upon a time I was a dragonfly danced along a lake in the deep blue sky Till the winter came and the snow fell down I fell into the water, it was cold I got drowned Five thousand years from now I was floating on a wave into the deep blue sea Five thousand years from now but that wasn't really me Once upon a time I was a fairy in a tree my friends were a bird, a wolf, a hermit, and a bee And the flowers all nodded their heads to me when a storm came up and took me to the sea. Five million years from now I was floating on the wind over the dep blue sea Five million years from now but it wasn't really me I've been so many things in so many times had a lot of lives while a cat has only nine In the next one I may be a star or its light I might never find which one was really mine. All through eternity I'll be floating on the wind over the deep blue sea All through eternity I'll be floating on a wave on the deep blue sea five hundred years from now I'll be floating on the wind over the deep blue sea Five thousand years from now I'll be floating on a wave on the deep blue sea Five million years from now I'll be floating on a boat on the deep blue sea All through eternity I'll be floating on the wind over the deep blue sea - until I know it's me |
