Once I Was A Lady Lyrics


Lucky Fonz Iii Once I Was A Lady


once I was a lady dressed in black and blue
I used to walk the boulevard because that's what ladies
do
my nails were always polished, my secrets always hid
I just did whatever it was that all the other ladies
did

at nighttime around my bedside I keep a million lights
one for every soldier who fought the war and died
for my husband is a landlord whose eyes are full of
greed
and his army full of young men whom he never even sees

but now I am somebody else with golden books upon my
shelves and diamonds on my mind
strolling through the woods at night to find the little
bits of light others leave behind

once I was a soldier in the army of some lord
I have never even seen him, I just got paid to hold his
sword
I kept my armour shiny and I kept my secrets hid
and whatever I was told to do, that is what I did

when I think about it now it's hard for me to say
whether I had a choice in life to do the things my way
because by the time I heard about that lady's bedside
state
I had already gone far too far, it was already too late

but now I am somebody else with golden books upon my
shelves and diamonds on my mind
strolling through the woods at night to find the little
bits of light others leave behind

once I was a student, I had to pick up my degree
and I thought about the years gone by, the years that
numbered three
how things that had seemed important turned out to be a
joke
and things that had seemed natural had all gone up in
smoke

earlier a crowd had come to see me win my prize
I felt like I deserved it, it was justice in my eyes
but the only thing that I could think was 'what am I
gonna do?
when all of this is over, when my days of hope are
through?'

but now I am somebody else with golden books upon my
shelves and diamonds on my mind
strolling through the woods at night to find the little
bits of light others leave behind
