I once knew of a demon
He sung lullabies to the children
He was lonely, hmm-mm
I once knew of a child
He walked barefoot down the aisle
He was wounded, hmm-mm
All at once, you walk away blindly to another day
All at once, you walk away blindly to another day
I once knew of a wild lion
Tame with chains to his name
He was lonely, hmm-mm
I once knew of the grass
It sang with me 'til summer passed
It was healthy, hmm-mm
All at once, you walk away blindly to another day
All at once, you walk away blindly to another day
Papa, have you any land?
I'll sing my song for a merry stand
Poor sheriff, he's better than this
Poor boy who cried wolf
Killed by the disapproval
Of his village and his town
All at once, you walk away blindly to another day
All at once, you walk away blindly to another day
