Back to Before

There was a time our happiness seemed neverending
 I was so sure that where we were heading was right
 Life was a road so certain and straight and unbending
 Our little road with never a crossroad in sight
 Back in the days when we spoke in civilised voices
 Women in white and sturdy young men at the oar
 Back in the days when I let you make all my choices
 We can never go back to before
 ♪
 There was a time my feet were so solidly planted
 You'd sail away while I turned my back to the sea
 I was content, a princess asleep and enchanted
 If I had dreams then I let you dream them for me
 Back in the days when everything seemed so much clearer
 Women in white who knew what their lives held in store
 Where are they now, those women who stared from the mirror?
 We can never go back to before
 ♪
 There are people out there, unafraid of revealing
 That they might have a feeling
 Or they might have been wrong
 There are people out there, unafraid to feel sorrow
 Unafraid of tomorrow
 Unafraid to be weak
 Unafraid to be strong
 ♪
 There was a time when you were the person in motion
 I was your wife, it never occured to want more
 You were my sky, my moon and my stars and my ocean
 We can never go back to before
 We can never go back to before
