There Was No One Before You, There Was No One Before Me - The High Strung

The fog slipped through the

Gates as they were yawning

Advanced across the lawn but

Never reached the house because

The lights came on

And split it right in two

The gravel made way

For shoes that were muddy

Shoes that somebody

Got himself the day before

To impress the woman he was coming to

The waves rushed to meet

The banks of his own sea

There was no one before you

There was no one before me

The rust was cast

From the door as it was opened

It sounded like a casket

But the wind picked up and mashed it

Who knows which sound was meant to make it through

The frost framed the window

Making it hard to look out of

But that didn’t matter

Sometimes you know how things will end

Sometimes you know when someone’s in the room

The fight embraced

The great old tree

There was no one before you, there was no one before me

There was no one before you, there was no one before me
