Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a man
That weltered in boundless happiness and lust for life
It seemed like nothing could ever drag him down
Or take this unflappable smile out of his face
I once was that man but as times changed so did I
Like the withering leaves when summer turns to autumn
It happened when my frail heart stumbled over your supposed lovely soul
And I felt as if I finally found someone
Who would understand me without even talking
So I opened up and took the boat to your land
Ignoring the pitch-dark clouds hanging low in your mountains
When I moored my skiff at your pier
I told you that I could not swim and that I was afraid of drowning
Still you did not fix the holes and as I stepped out of my boat
Trying to get into your arms that was where I started falling
Where I started falling
