As It Was

There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved Never I'd had life enough My heart is screaming out And in a few days I would be there, love Whatever here that's left of me is yours just as it was Just as it was, baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name The love, the dark, the light, the flame The eyes at the heights of my baby Let's hope at the fight of my baby The lights were as bright as my baby But your love was unmoved And tell me if somehow some of it remained How long you would wait for me? How long I've been away? The shape that I'm in now is shaping the doorway Make your good love known to me Just tell me about your day Just as it was, baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name The drugs, the dark, the light, the shame Eyes at the hights of my baby And this hope at the fight of my baby And the lights were as bright as my baby But your love was unmoved And the sights were as stark as my baby And the cold was as sharp as my baby And the nights were as dark as my baby Half as beautiful too
