[00:00.00]A Painter Passing Through (Live) - Gordon Lightfoot
[00:12.22]Once upon a time I was on my own
[00:17.73]Once upon a time like you've never known
[00:23.37]Once upon a time I would be impressed
[00:28.73]Once upon a time my life would be obsessed
[00:34.62]Once upon a time once upon a day when
[00:40.15]I was in my prime once along the way
[00:45.69]If you want to know my secret
[00:48.42]Don't come runnin' after me
[00:51.20]For I am just a painter passing through in history
[01:01.47]Yesterday is gone yesterday's alright
[01:06.94]Yesterday belongs in my dreams at night
[01:12.59]Yesterday is swell yesterday is great
[01:18.11]Yesterday is strong remembering can wait
[01:23.84]Once upon a time once upon a day when
[01:29.26]I was in my prime once along the way
[01:34.86]If you want to know an answer
[01:37.86]I can't turn your life around
[01:40.43]For I am just a painter passing
[01:43.34]Through the underground
[01:50.65]I was in my stride always at my game
[01:56.22]Here comes mister cool along the walk of fame
[02:01.83]I was in demand always in control
[02:07.26]The world was in my hands
[02:10.08]My touch had turn to gold
[02:13.01]Once upon a time I was in a daze when
[02:18.54]I was in my prime once along the way
[02:24.05]If you want to know my secret
[02:26.84]Don't come runnin' after me
[02:29.66]For I am just a painter passing through in history
[02:39.88]Now that I am old let me rest a spell
[02:45.47]All that I am told I can never tell
[02:51.14]Never in my life never will it pass
[02:56.73]I am still alone remembering at last
[03:02.33]Once upon a time once upon a day when
[03:07.38]I was in my prime once along the way
[03:13.34]If you want to know an answer
[03:16.01]I can't turn your life around
[03:18.88]For I am just a painter passing
[03:21.77]Through the underground
[03:24.66]If you want to know my secret
[03:27.34]Don't come runnin' after me
[03:30.12]For I am just a painter passing through in history
