There Was A Time

...THERE WAS A TIME... by Donovan

Verse 1:

Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.

Chorus 1:

I was noble personage, born to beauti-fy the page.

If I used time to set it down.

Verse 2:

There was a time, I thought of mine only.

Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.

Chorus 2:

I was of high lineage, cast up in a dreadful age.

Born to be the hermit of my line.

Bridge 1:

On a windy saturday, St. Alban's market day.

Little did I know the work I was to do,

Or the love I had to show.

Verse 3:

There was a time, I thought of mine only.

Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.

Chorus 3:

I was of high lineage, cast up in a dreadful age.

Born to be the hermit of my line.
