Visions flash through my head As she rises from the dead The girl I use to be Sometimes she calls out to me I grab my keys and I'm out the door Heading to a place I've lived before An old dirt road and a house of blue Back to the girl that I once knew
Once upon a time her life was mine Once upon a long ago time
Sitting on the side of that road Seeing her with her bedlam load Two little ones and a long journey I reach out to pull them close to me Lessons to learn, oh, she learned them well Broke me free from a Sleeping Spell Sacrificed all that she knew To set me free from a house of blue
*Once upon a time her life was mine I owe that girl for a long ago time She carried the life that was mine
