Gordon Lightfoot - In My Fashion lyrics

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
