about

GS: "Before You Came To Me": A love song oughta have pretty music. It made for a good contrast to the previous two tracks. Which makes this a good point to say, good job on the order of poems, which you'll notice I stuck to.

lyrics

BEFORE YOU CAME TO ME

I didn't know I didn't know I didn't have it so good

before you came to me

the notions I thought I had of what love was and could be

before you came to me

were ultimately shades and wisps,

mere approximations of a reality so strangely and surely correct


Before you came to me

words had meaning but not power

Before you came to me

thoughts would flit but never fly

Before you came to me

actions had direction but no purpose

Before you came to me

arms would chain

and eyes would lie


I have now a great appreciation of the life I led

before you came to me

not nostalgia

nor regret

just a simple understanding of contrasts and comparisons

the world after and the world before


Before you came to me
