As It Was

There is a roadway
 Muddy and foxgloved
 Never I'd have life enough
 My heart is screamin' out
 And in a few days
 I would be there, love
 Ever here that's left in
 Me is yours just as it was
 
 Just as it was, baby
 Before the otherness came
 And I knew its name
 The drug, the dark, the light, the flame
 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
 You're 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 drug, the dark, the light, the shame
 Eyes at the heights 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 cut as sharp as my baby
 And the nights were as dark as my baby
 Half as beautiful too
