Before You Are

Lover, never tire of me
My hands, my eyes, my worrying
Looking at you you're all that I need
If I could be that for you
You know I'd be.

I believe in something sweet
In spite of things you've told me
Planted all the seeds I had
Underneath a tree

Turned all the sad songs right off
Just as I heard them start
You're like the night
I feared it before I loved it, love.

We flinch like this
When touches are soft
Too light, don't lie
You know they are
If you want constant and ready for war
I will be ready for it
Before you are.

I've forgotten before you
In spite of things you've told me
I planted all the seeds I had
Underneath a tree

Blanketed before it did get dark
When the shadows were small
You're like the night
I feared it before I loved it, love
You're like the night i feared.
