Before The Poison

Before the posion

I wasn't down,

If you'd been there

If you'd been around

I couldn't hear

Couldn't hear a sound

I was floating

Above the ground



Before the poison

I'd lost my fear

Maybe too happy,

To even care

Safe in my dreams

Couldn't see the fall

Coming on, coming from nowhere

My name to call



No more to say

Nothin's coming my way

No you, no me

No more, how can it be

Nowhere to run

Out of nowhere, poison

That is the end

What's left for you, my friend



Before the poison

I'd laugh out loud

I'd see your face

In any crowd

But speak softly

Without fear

Hold on to me

Hold me near



No more to say

Nothin's coming my way

No you, no me

No more, how can it be

Nowhere to run

Out of nowhere, poison

That is the end

What's left for you, my friend?

What's left for you, my friend?

What's left for you, my friend?

What's left for you...?
