Before - John Howard/The Night Mail[00:00:00]
Written by:Robert Rotifer[00:00:01]
You watched them breeding with each other[00:00:07]
As you sit like any other day here on your own[00:00:10]
You have another cigarette another coffee[00:00:16]
Then you pay the bill and wander home[00:00:20]
You fill the vases with fresh flowers[00:00:30]
Check the linen take a shower[00:00:33]
And spray on your best colone[00:00:36]
Arrange the photos of you hanging out with people[00:00:42]
That you can't believe you've ever known[00:00:46]
And somewhere it must be somewhere[00:00:56]
There is the flicker of a thought that memories are not enough[00:00:59]
There may have been the kind of stuff that he called love[00:01:07]
But like all memories it never is enough[00:01:12]
The rain is falling like confetti at that long forgotten wedding day[00:01:32]
From which you took flight[00:01:38]
Oh how you smoke great dope till dawn and lay on the lawn[00:01:41]
By the moonlight[00:01:47]
And somewhere it must be somewhere[00:01:55]
There is the flicker of a thought that sweet revenge might compensate[00:01:58]
Those hours staring at the clock while you sat waiting for the knock[00:02:07]
It was already too late[00:02:14]
And somewhere it must be somewhere[00:02:21]
There is the remnant of a dream of the plans beyond your door[00:02:24]
When no one knows you anymore cause like those remnants you are faded[00:02:33]
Into before[00:02:40]
Before you gave up laughing[00:02:47]
Before the world was frightening[00:02:50]
Before you were the one everybody never sees[00:02:53]
Before you couldn't leave here[00:02:58]
Before you had a new name[00:03:01]
Before you were the one who could never freeze[00:03:04]
Before this was your life[00:03:10]
Before this was your end[00:03:13]
Before your friends wondered where you are[00:03:15]
And how you are[00:03:21]
And who you are[00:03:25]
Before you couldn't answer anymore[00:03:32]
About anything that happened[00:03:37]
Before[00:03:44]
