As You Did Before

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your arms mean more to me than flowers, don't leave them at my door Come spend some hours, I'll spread a blanket on the floor You have me driven half crazy, you don't see me anymore Throw down these walls and veils and greet me [Chorus] As you did before When you were here before Before you went out rovin' and a-ramblin' Now I sing no more Bells will ring no more That song and dance, that old romance that took you around the world [Verse 2] I'm disoriented, I'vе been traveling so long Were you just hеre beside me in this room now, or are you gone? This confusion covers everything now I used to live for the illusion, now the illusion's breaking down [Chorus] As it did before When you were here before Before you bit off more than you can handle Now I speak no more Turn the cheek no more Do that song and dance, that old romance that took you around the world [Verse 3] You're no good to me when you're broken Hard to look at when you're all messed up And your heart is pouring out in all directions There's no shame in losin' Being the bearer of the beaten hand And the truth came out when the cards went down on the table [Chorus] As they did before When you were here before Before you told me that I oughta be grateful Now I sing no more Wear your ring no more Do that song and dance, that old romance that took you around the world And I'll speak no more Turn the cheek no more Not since you made me swear upon the Bible And I sing no more Bells will ring no more To that old romance, that second chance that's heard even before That I'll speak no more Turn the cheek no more [Outro] Well, you know where to find me If the curtains are drawn You can come
