Every Once in a While Songtext
von Stephen Bruton

I know where I come from
I know just who I′ve been
I beat the heart of darkness
I've been the next of kin
I wouldn′t recognize the man I was before
If he were standing at my door

But every once in a while in reflection
I see the shadow that's been following me
Just a soul with no sense of direction
Every once in a while I see
The man I used to be
Every once in a while

Old ghosts and bones still moan and rattle now and then
They whisper the wage of sin is death but he won't say when
The devil′s in the details with his sleight of hand so quick
He makes time seem like a trick


Every once in a while in reflection
I see the shadow that keeps following me
Just a soul with no sense of direction
Every once in a while I see
The man I used to be
Every once in a while

Every once in a while in reflection
I see the shadow that′s been following me
Just a soul with no sense of direction
Every once in a while I see
The man I used to be
Every once in a while

It happens all the time
You close your eyes and lose your mind
Illusion of reality
You may not find but you will see
In hope we glimpse eternity

Every once in a while
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
