MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Before The Poison

Before the Poison, 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 dream, couldn't see the fog

Comin on, coming from nowhere

My name to call



No more to say, nothin's comin' my way

No you, no me, no more, how can it be

Nowhere to run, out of nowhere poison

They sense 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



Ooooooooooohh

Oooooooooohhh

Ooooooooooohh



No more to say, nothin's comin' my way

No you no me, no more, how can it be

Nowhere to run, out of nowhere poison

They sense 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
