Robert Francis - One By One lyrics

rate me

I loved a girl once

And she was very young

Everyday I wonder

What I could've done

Now she's sitting somewhere

Where the walls are all white

Losing herself underneath

Those fluorescent lights

Each day goes by

Where the world looks the same

Where the seasons come and change

But I find myself the way I came

And I've lost all the things

That I lost in you

From losing ourselves

In each other like we use to do

Time moves on and those moments

That I held in my heart each day

Have now disappeared

Oh well the mountains stare at the face of the sun

The sky smiles down on everyone

We all wonder what we could've done

We end up passing one by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

Like a flower dancing

By the side of the wind

Like a tree growing thin

I had nothing to believe in

Cause now the wind blows through me

On the side of the road

Like a freight train

Howling in the belly of my soul

Now the ocean's nestled

In a blanket of stars

Dreaming by the streetlights

Dreaming by a freeway of cars

The mountains stare at the face of the sun

The sky smiles down on everyone

We all wonder what we could've done

We end up passing one by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

I lost my brother when I was very young

To a drug he never knew

Cause he could not remember what he'd done

It was my first taste of fear in the hospital hall

Staring through a window at his eyes

That were black as coal

And even though something inside of him died

He left the room a different person

But he made it out alive

Oh he'd switch our cereals in the morning

Out of fear of being poisoned

By the people that had raised him

By the people that put him here

Oh but time moves on

And those moments

That I held in my heart each day

Have now disappeared

Oh the mountains stare at the face of the sun

The sky smiles down on everyone

We all wonder what we could've done

We end up passing one by one

One by one

One by one

The mountains stare at the face of the sun

The sky smiles down on everyone

We all wonder what we could've done

We all end up passing one by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one
