lyrics

Long before you came
I was a man with no name
No horizons for me to aim
Long before you came

Long before you came
I was a breeze that blew the rain
I was indeed partly insane
Long before you came

Now I only sit and curse the day you came
And remembered me that I had still a name
All the horizons brought in the day you came
They have shrank and they have faded, and went away

Long before you came
I could not count or read a thing
I couldn’t even spell my name
Long before you came

Long before you came
I couldn’t dream of better days
I could not dream in any way
Long before you came

But now I only sit and curse the day you came
And told me one and one was two in everything
Told me words I never heard nor did I say
But it all turned to nothing when you went away

I could not dream of better days
I could not dream in any way
Now when I close my eyes I see
In this foggy haze
Memories that stayed when you went away

All those memories they have stayed
Long after you came
