Before I Go

lyrics

Before I Go
I can see the mist
And it's clearing off the water
I can see the island
Coming in to view
And I don't care now
If I've said it all before
Because I never
Have said it to you.
And if I have,
It wasn't true then
But it's strangely
True today.
And on the island
There is a harbour
And I'm expected
To make my way.

But I don't know
If it's worth talking anymore
When we can read each other's minds
Before I go
I'm determined to explore
Before I leave it all behind

I can see the ship
Is veering off its course
And I know the Captain
Is a fool,
And I know the crew
Are expecting me to act
Because they know
I always do.
But all I can see
Is that the stars are bright tonight
And their strange music
Is calling me.
And I can see the sails
Are far, far below me
Because I'm flying now
Flying free

And I don't know
If it's worth talking anymore
When we can read each other's minds
Before I go
I'm determined to explore
Before I go…
