《Before》歌词

[00:00:00] Before - John Howard/The Night Mail

[00:00:01] Written by：Robert Rotifer

[00:00:07] You watched them breeding with each other

[00:00:10] As you sit like any other day here on your own

[00:00:16] You have another cigarette another coffee

[00:00:20] Then you pay the bill and wander home

[00:00:30] You fill the vases with fresh flowers

[00:00:33] Check the linen take a shower

[00:00:36] And spray on your best colone

[00:00:42] Arrange the photos of you hanging out with people

[00:00:46] That you can't believe you've ever known

[00:00:56] And somewhere it must be somewhere

[00:00:59] There is the flicker of a thought that memories are not enough

[00:01:07] There may have been the kind of stuff that he called love

[00:01:12] But like all memories it never is enough

[00:01:32] The rain is falling like confetti at that long forgotten wedding day

[00:01:38] From which you took flight

[00:01:41] Oh how you smoke great dope till dawn and lay on the lawn

[00:01:47] By the moonlight

[00:01:55] And somewhere it must be somewhere

[00:01:58] There is the flicker of a thought that sweet revenge might compensate

[00:02:07] Those hours staring at the clock while you sat waiting for the knock

[00:02:14] It was already too late

[00:02:21] And somewhere it must be somewhere

[00:02:24] There is the remnant of a dream of the plans beyond your door

[00:02:33] When no one knows you anymore cause like those remnants you are faded

[00:02:40] Into before

[00:02:47] Before you gave up laughing

[00:02:50] Before the world was frightening

[00:02:53] Before you were the one everybody never sees

[00:02:58] Before you couldn't leave here

[00:03:01] Before you had a new name

[00:03:04] Before you were the one who could never freeze

[00:03:10] Before this was your life

[00:03:13] Before this was your end

[00:03:15] Before your friends wondered where you are

[00:03:21] And how you are

[00:03:25] And who you are

[00:03:32] Before you couldn't answer anymore

[00:03:37] About anything that happened

[00:03:44] Before
