Before You Came

Oh, can’t you hear them?
Hear their whispering sighs?
The pines speak for the wasted ones,
in stinging boughs they hide.

Oh, can’t you feel them?
Feel their longing eyes?
They followed me and swallowed me
back when you were mine.

I’d had someone to bear my blame
Before you came
Before you came

I’d had someone to wear my shame
Before you came
Before you came

My love, I can hear you
Hear your whispering sighs
My love, I can feel you
Feel your longing eyes

I’d had someone to bear my blame
Before you came
Before you came

I’d had someone to share my name
Before you came
Before you came

Oh, can’t you feel them?
Feel their burning eyes?
They followed me and swallowed me
back when you were mine.
