Marianne Faithfull Before The Poison Lyrics

Before The Poison Lyrics

Before the poison, I wasn't down

If you'd been there, if you'd been around

I couldn't hear, couldn't hear a sound

I was floating above the ground



Before the poison, I had lost my fear

Maybe too happy to even care

Safe in my dream, couldn't see the fog

Comin' on, coming from nowhere, my name to call



No more to say, nothin's comin' my way

No you, no me, no more, how can it be?

Nowhere to run, out of nowhere poison

They sense the end, what's left for you, my friend?



Before the poison, I'd laugh out loud

I'd see your face in any crowd

But speak softly without fear

Hold on to me, hold me near



No more to say, nothin's comin' my way

No you, no me, no more, how can it be?

Nowhere to run, out of nowhere poison

They sense the end, what's left for you, my friend?



What's left for you, my friend?

What's left for you, my friend?

What's left for you?
