What Once Was

[Verse] Sort of maybe almost right Couldn't tell but caught the light Halfway there but lost the trace Nearly got a glimpse of grace [Verse 2] Memory's a tricky friend Sometimes leads you round the bend Flashes come and flashes go What it was we'll never know [Chorus] What once was Fading like the dusk Gone and out of view Like a forgotten clue [Verse 3] Chasing shadows on the floor Think I've seen this place before Echoes whisper through the night Something almost feels so right [Bridge] Almost see it clear as day But it slips and fades away Almost grasp it in my hand Leaves me in the shifting sand [Chorus] What once was Fading like the dusk Gone and out of view Like a forgotten clue
