Before Anyone Knew Songtext
von The Third Man

Before anyone knew
About the breathless shivers of love
And the bones of the truth
Before anyone knew
About the lonely hours awake
In the landscapes of a room
In a sea of dust
And the wonder of youth


Before anyone cared
About the fevered games the unmade bed
In a north facing room
Before anyone thought
About the rich velvet curtains
With faces in the folds
In a sea of lust
And the wonders of youth

Before anyone saw beyond
The bent iron fence
Graffitied with her name
At the bottom of the path
Where perished tyres and dried up pots
All shining richly in the sun
Its a sea of rust
And the wonder of youth
