Back to Before

There was a time our happiness seemed neverending

I was so sure that where we were heading was right

Life was a road so certain and straight and unbending

Our little road with never a crossroad in sight

Back in the days when we spoke in civilised voices

Women in white and sturdy young men at the oar

Back in the days when I let you make all my choices

We can never go back to before

♪

There was a time my feet were so solidly planted

You'd sail away while I turned my back to the sea

I was content, a princess asleep and enchanted

If I had dreams then I let you dream them for me

Back in the days when everything seemed so much clearer

Women in white who knew what their lives held in store

Where are they now, those women who stared from the mirror?

We can never go back to before

♪

There are people out there, unafraid of revealing

That they might have a feeling

Or they might have been wrong

There are people out there, unafraid to feel sorrow

Unafraid of tomorrow

Unafraid to be weak

Unafraid to be strong

♪

There was a time when you were the person in motion

I was your wife, it never occured to want more

You were my sky, my moon and my stars and my ocean

We can never go back to before

We can never go back to before
