Before The Sun Lyrics - Singles - Alan Charles Stewart

it's not what you imagine that's put furrows on my brow 

it's not who I am but what I am that counts 

I've got to do some thinking we've both said enough for now 

I don't know what's wrong but I sure don't know what's right 

CHORUS 

but to you I believe it's right to say 

that I'll be up up and on my way 

before the sun 

has overlooked your window sill 

you may say I'm a crusader with a cause that's undefined 

yet I must face another battle in this war 

I smile 'cause I'm no fighter then I turn and look behind 

but the past won't ever hold an open door 

CHORUS 2 

and to you there's one more thing to say 

that you must wait while I must fly away 

before the sun 

has overlooked your window sill 

BRIDGE 

they're telling tales in the highest quarters 

'bout faith and blood and glory 

just a little more oil on troubled waters 

it's the same old story 

footsteps in the darkness just before the light of dawn 

some lines I read still running round my mind 

'for I have promises to keep miles to go before I sleep' 

but who's to know the answers I will find 

CHORUS 3 

yes and there's so much more to say 

but we will wait 'cause I must fly away 

before the sun 

has overlooked your window sill
