Marianne Faithfull - 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'd lost my fear Maybe too happy To even care Safe in my dreams Couldn't see the fall Coming on, coming from nowhere My name to call No more to say Nothing's coming my way No you, no me No more, how can it be? Nowhere to run Out of nowhere, poison That is 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 Nothing's coming my way No you, no me No more, how can it be? Nowhere to run Out of nowhere, poison That is 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?
