Before We Know It - Trembling Blue Stars

It’s the night before she leaves

She sleeps an unquiet sleep

You reach out to teach her while you still can

You reach out to teach her while you still can

«Departure» fills the air

When your time grows short it’s everywhere

In each sad smile

In her restlessness

In the held back tears

In the talking less

Tomorrow you’ll return

To where you held her days before

Where she said what you now recall

«Before we know it

I’ll be going, I’ll be going

Before we know it

You’ll be walking away alone, away alone»

No amount of time is

Ever enough when you’re dealing with

Long distance love where stations become

Become the best and the worst of places

Tomorrow you’ll return

To where you held her days before

Where she said what you now recall

«Before we know it

I’ll be going, I’ll be going

Before we know it

You’ll be walking away alone, away alone»
