Gone Before Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well after the party's over
Black limousines they gather around
Our stance, our secret romance (We're having)
Nobody knows you're with me
You're a stranger to that world within me
So you said so softly on the stranger's bed
No I could never imagine your lips
Being that red
The smell of wine is on your breath
I trip out when I think of the things we did
I wish I never, I wish I never did
Chorus:
Oh special baby (Oh special baby)
I'm so sorry lady, come into my life
(So sorry lady)
(Come into my life)
Forever seemed to be one night
Oh special baby (Oh special baby)
I'm so sorry lady, ya came into my life
(Came into my love and you were gone before light)
Well after the morning's over
Feeling so bad and sober
I don't care because you're not here
(You're not here)
Feeling the fire within me
The pulse of last night's heart beat
Still echoes within me
I can feel your skin
No I could never imagine a love affair
Like this so secretive when we're kissing
When I'm with you baby
'Cause you're a special lady
Chorus:
Oh special baby (Oh special baby)
I'm so sorry lady, come into my life
(So sorry lady)
(Come into my life)
Forever seemed to be one night
Oh special baby (Oh special baby)
I'm so sorry lady, ya came into my life
(Came into my love and you were gone before light)
(Moved in some sense of direction towards you...
You called my name and I knew that was you in the corner
With the cognac eyes and a body that seduced me and I said...)
Chorus:
Oh special baby (Oh special baby)
I'm so sorry lady, come into my life
(So sorry lady)
(Come into my life)
Forever seemed to be one night
Oh special baby (Oh special baby)
I'm so sorry lady, ya came into my life
(Came into my love and you were gone before light)
