If You Go Before Me Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

Dearest ones in an eye of a star life is brief 

A speck of dust from grass to leaf 

If on the ascendant your soul arises 

And doesn't contradict what your esence extemporises 

I've been the hermit and the love thief 

And paid for the privilege with tears of grief 

Which soon by nature circumcises 

This song will be brief 

One day in the spring a question fell 

And went straight through me 

Do bleeding angels sing when close to tears? 

I need the answer 

So if you go before me would you let me know? 

If you go before me would you let me know? 

One day in the year a bullet screamed 

And ripped straight through you 

And I saw the sun begin to bleed 

Above a flood of tears and sirens 

And are spirit's colour blind? 

So if you go before me would you let me know? 

If you go before me would you let me know?
