Before
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.
Here we are
Lent to the earth by the stars
But it won't be me
That sets you free
No it won't be me who closes the door on before.
Before.
Slivers of light hang in the dark,
Loving hands place the flowers in the vase
But it won't be me
That sets you free
No it won't be me who closes the door on before.
Before.
But it won't be me
That sets you free
No it won't be me who closes the door on before.
Before.
Before.
She said don't look at the new moon through the glass,
Our eyes on the future that will pass
But it won't be me
That sets you free
No it won't be me who closes the door on before.
