"Before The Poison" lyrics - MARIANNE FAITHFULL

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 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

Ooooooooooohh
Oooooooooohhh
Ooooooooooohh

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
