"Before I Knew" lyrics
"Before I Knew"
Daylight comes to me a road, a road
I was gone before I knew
You who'd always been the conduit for tears
When no one else could hear us at all
See the road
Didn't know that you were on my mind
Black and blue was all I left behind
Got no words that don't know why
I bled it out into goodbye
I could see the light beneath the door
I've been here before I knew how
Before I knew how
Daylight comes to me, a road, a road
I've been here before I knew
You who'd always been the conduit for tears
When no one else could hear them at all
See the road
Didn't know that you were on my mind
Black and blue is all I ever find
Got no words, I don't know why
Bled it out into goodbye
I could see the light beneath the door
I'd been here before I knew how
Before I knew how
And don't you deal as if photographs
Don't have a right up on the wall
But you might take a peak on the sly
Sweetest chord I ever heard
Sweet enough to please the Lord
Just might be a mote in my eye
Got no words, I don't know why
You bled it out into goodbye
I could see before I knew how
Before I knew how
Before I knew how

World Party - "Love Street" Have you ever been to Love Street?
Have you ever tried on all the shoes?
They're for walking on the clouds with
And not for down here in the blues
You know, dreams come true on Love Street too...
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - "Now" Your mouth is red-I'm picturing it in my head
I'm picturing you smile at me
I want you to be with me now
Your hair is brown-I'm picturing it hanging down
I'm picturing it falling round those big...
Neil Finn - "Wherever You Are" Wherever you are
Its 3am and I'm awake
Imagine the light
Upon her blue transparanet face
True coloured glass
It filters down to warm the street
Faded
I'm the one who leads your mind
See my life in...
The The - "Love Is Stronger Than Death" Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Me and my friend were walking
In the cold light of mourning
Tears may blind the eyes, but the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain't what it seems...
