Before

Dreams are like angels, they show you the way
And I dreamt of you yesterday
How are you doing? Where have you been?
Where are you going? What do you see?

I'd like to find out soon
What's your number? Where do you go?
Who do you talk to in the snow?
I'd like to find out soon

I'm sorry, I'm no good on the phone
Hearing you complain
My heart just turns to stone again and again
Why is the day so long?

Why is the world so wrong?
Waiting for those moments that never come along
I don't understand
Why I can't hold your hand

And have a little moment like before
Tell me one of your stories, I'll pour some wine
We can put the world to rights this time
Maybe we don't have to talk at all

I know you don't like to speak of the days before
So you stumble over your words and out of the door
Why does it take so long?
Why does the world just carry on?

Waiting for those moments that never come along
How does it work?
When you love someone so much it breaks
Caught up in a moment from before

Oh, before
Oh, before
Before
Before
Before

Before my heart fell on the floor
When dreams are like angels and show you the way
And I dreamt of you yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
