in my fashion

in my fashion i have been a good man

i have loved and i have lost

ever after i will be remembered

in my fashion

in my way

there have been times

i have seen the reaper

in the bad times

and in the good

i have bent down

i have touched the ground

saying prayers and touching wood

in my fashion

i have been a father

i have loved and been loved in return

from the ashes

i have kept the homefires

burning after all was said and done

now take a look at me

do i look like the kind of guy

the kinda fool who went to school

and had to stand on a stool

because he couldn't come t' terms with a slide rule

take a look around again

is it any different now than it was then

in my fashion i have been a good man

i have loved and i have lost

and ever after i will be remembered

in my fashion

in my way
