IN MY FASHION
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1982


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 the good.

I have bent down,
I have touched the ground
Saying prayers and touching wood.

(bridge)

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 kind of fool who went to school
And had to stand on a stool
Couldn't come to terms with a slide rule
And 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.

And ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way.
