Before You Are - Lotte Kestner

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

youre 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.
