Once
posted August 14, 2006 - 12:14pmOnce I knew in a bind how to behave
Once I could bend back until the roof caved in
Once the dogs would bark endlessly at the moon
Once the night fell, it was all over
Once the raft left the dock, we sang "Born Free"
Once her crooked
smile was all I ever needed
Once he took my Dylan albums and left town
Once I didn't care enough to care
Once in a while we scream for no reason
Once the heater was on, but you were still cold
Once you wanted to run, but your legs were stone
Once Chance and I played doctor in a shed
Once I made a house out of rain
Once you called me up, but I let it ring
Once I hear your voice, this pain will pass
Once is not enough to make things right
Once he took out his teeth in the afternoon
Once she counted nouns inside a peach tree
Once I twisted so hard, it turned blue
Once a cat jumped at you and scratched away
Once she returned, we didn't know what to say
Once rhymes creep in, you know you're done
Once he had hair, but now it's all gone
Once can feel like forever, or else it's none
