Back to Before by Marin Mazzie

Back to Before Lyrics

[00:16.23] There was a time our happiness seemed neverending
[00:23.29] I was so sure that where we were heading was right
[00:30.15] Life was a road so certain and straight and unbending
[00:36.76] Our little road with never a crossroad in sight
[00:43.41] Back in the days when we spoke in civilised voices
[00:50.18] Women in white and sturdy young men at the oar
[00:57.37] Back in the days when I let you make all my choices
[01:06.60] We can never go back to before
[01:16.51] There was a time my feet were so solidly planted
[01:22.70] You'd sail away while I turned my back to the sea
[01:29.22] I was content, a princess asleep and enchanted
[01:35.59] If I had dreams then I let you dream them for me
[01:41.76] Back in the days when everything seemed so much clearer
[01:48.02] Women in white who knew what their lives held in store
[01:54.43] Where are they now, those women who stared from the mirror?
[02:02.15] We can never go back to before
[02:11.29]
[02:13.50] There are people out there, unafraid of revealing
[02:20.91] That they might have a feeling
[02:25.04] Or they might have been wrong
[02:29.10] There are people out there, unafraid to feel sorrow
[02:37.15] Unafraid of tomorrow
[02:41.12] Unafraid to be weak
[02:45.67] Unafraid to be strong
[02:47.41] There was a time when you were the person in motion
[02:58.33] I was your wife, it never occured to want more
[03:05.02] You were my sky, my moon and my stars and my ocean
[03:15.06]
[03:17.83] We can never go back to before
[03:26.71] We can never go back to before
[03:50.11]
