Robert Grenier - Before I Had Your Love lyrics

Before I had your love I was a simpleton I wandered everywhere and wanted everything I wanted all of them to treat me like a king And I thought that you and I were maybe just a fling Before I had your love I was all by myself I thought that to win was the greatest wealth I thought I was a poet or maybe something else And I took the love we had and put it on the shelf Before I had your love I kept on breaking down I wanted them to bury me deep in the ground I wanted them to speak my name all over the town But listen closely and you will not hear a sound Before I had your love I thought I was alright I knew how to drink and how to fight I thought that I was so outta sight And isn't it so fun to stay up late at night With your friends Before I had your love I was a wanted man They tried to capture me but I slipped through their hands I made my way off to a distant land And I layed down to die there upon the sand
