You Were Mine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take my heart It used to be so supple and sweet And now it's withered on the vine [Chorus] There's before and then there's after You were mine [Verse 2] Take my faith So strong and full of fire Now it's bruised, broken down and blind [Chorus] There's before and then there's after You were mine You were mine [Bridge] Sun comes up, sun goes down World keeps rollin' around and around The hands on the clock going, "Tick-tock-tick-tock" Ain't the way I measure time [Chorus] There's just before and then there's after You were mine You were mine [Verse 3] Take my hands, they used to hold you so tight Now they reach, but they never touch you in the night [Chorus] There's before and then there's after You were mine You were mine, mine, mine [Bridge] Sun comes up, sun goes down World keeps rollin' around and around The hands on the clock going, "Tick-tock-tick-tock" That ain't the way that I measure time [Chorus] There's just before and then there's after There's before and then there's after There's before, there's before and then there's after You were mine [Outro] You were mine, you were mine, you were mine Oh, yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah Oh-ho-ho You were mine, you were mine, you were mine, yeah
