BEFORE AND AFTER LOVE 

Before and after love
In my reverie
In the shadow
Between twilight and dream

Now that you’re here
Everything’s new
Before and after love
I’ll wait for you 

Before and after love
I’m moving downstream  
Beyond the forest
To lands I dream  

I’m lost to the world
I barely know myself
Before and after love
It’s you and no-one else 

Before and after love
Through madness and desire
Before and after love
Through heartbreak and through fire

Before and after love
Beneath shifting skies
Your face is before me
As if in reply

To all of my worries
To each earthly care
Before and after love
Will you still be there?
