Marianne Faithfull 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
