A Painter Passing Through Lyrics

CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
Once upon a time, I was on my own
Once upon a time, like you've never known
Once upon a time, I would be impressed
Once upon a time, my life would be obsessed
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
I was in my prime, once along the way
HORUS:
If you want to know my secret
Don't come running after me
For I am just a painter
Passing through in history
VRS 2:
Yesterday is gone, yesterday's alright
Yesterday belongs, in my dreams at night
Yesterday is swell, yesterday is great
Yesterday is strong, remembering can wait
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
I was in my prime, once along the way
HORUS:
If you want to know an answer
I can't turn your life around
For I am just a painter
Passing through the underground
VRS 3:
I was in my stride, always at my game
Here comes Mister Cool, along the walk of fame
I was in demand, always in control
The world was in my hands, my touch had turned to gold
Once upon a time, I was in a daze, when
Everyday I turned, hearts along the way
HORUS:
If you want to know my secret
Don't come running after me
For I am just a painter
Passing through in history
VRS 4:
Now that I am old, let me rest a spell
All that I am told, I can never tell
Never in my life, never will it pass
I am still alone, remembering at last
Once upon a time, once upon a day, when
I was in my prime, once along the way
HORUS:
If you want to know an answer
I can't turn your life around
For I am just a painter
Passing through the underground
HORUS:
If you want to know my secret
Don't come running after me
For I am just a painter
Passing through in history
