Once Was Mine

from Appointed Tasks by Julie Jurgens

lyrics

I am just a farmer’s daughter
And I can’t trust my feet to go much farther
But I’ll roll up my jeans and wade into that rushing river
Could she have been saved even if I gave all I had to give her?
That’s what I thought at the time
Oh, love that once was mine

I’m no saint, but does that make me a sinner?
And I might die of loneliness this winter
Unless I pull on my boots and trudge through the snow
To get to the one I love
I cared for them more than they ever could know
But I showed it so poorly indeed
But I’d get it right this time
Oh, love that once was mine

I am a girl of constant sorrow
And love I cannot beg, steal or borrow
If I knew what to say to make you stay
I’d speak it til the day that I died
Still you come and you go like you don’t even know
That this fool has learned to be kind
And she’d get it right, this time
Oh, love that once was mine

Oh, I’d get it right this time
Oh, love that once was mine
