lyrics
I can't remember My Life Before You Came
Something tells me it wasn't quite the same
What good is your life when you are living on your own?
What good to the world when you have no-one of your own?
And still I need a clinician to explain
Why I can't remember My Life Before You Came
I had almost everything then the world called my bluff
And, speaking in retrospect, the world is not enough
The same, it's not the same
No I can't remember My Life Before You Came
I can't remember my life, can't remember My Life Before You Came
I can't remember my life, can't remember My Life Before You Came
Before you came, before you came, it's not the same
What good is your life when you are living on your own?
What good to the world when you have no-one waiting for you to come home?
Something tells me it wasn't quite the same
What good is your life when you are living on your own?
What good to the world when you have no-one of your own?
And still I need a clinician to explain
Why I can't remember My Life Before You Came
I had almost everything then the world called my bluff
And, speaking in retrospect, the world is not enough
The same, it's not the same
No I can't remember My Life Before You Came
I can't remember my life, can't remember My Life Before You Came
I can't remember my life, can't remember My Life Before You Came
Before you came, before you came, it's not the same
What good is your life when you are living on your own?
What good to the world when you have no-one waiting for you to come home?

Listening to a lot of Kevin Robertson and the Vapour Trails recently. Superb songwriting and playing. Those guitar sounds are so damn good.
