The Place That Was Before

Impressions of you stay
A time in younger days
Crumpled sheets and novels on the floor
The logic of your wit
The Eros of your lips
The instant of you passing through the door

And if I live to forget you
It would surely be a thousand years before
I'd let the night fall without you
There will always be the place that was before

The way you double take
When the devil shows up late
Your innocence aspires to be true
And if there's wine stains on the rug
If the facts reveal the rub
You offer up your witness and some clues

And if I live to forget you
It would surely be a thousand years before
I'd let the night fall without you
There will always be the place that was before

The way you always jest
Like Shakespeare at his best
Everything a play within a play
And there's wine stains on the stage
We acted out our rage
As the footlights dim the actors lose their way

And if I live to forget you
It would surely be a thousand years before
I'd let the night fall without you
There will always be the place that was before
