As You Did Before Lyrics by Glen Hansard

Flag Day (Original Soundtrack)

0

[Verse 1]
Your arms mean more to me than flowers, don't leave them at my door
Come spend some hours, I'll spread a blanket on the floor
You have me driven half crazy, you don't see me anymore
Throw down these walls and veils and greet me
[Chorus]
As you did before
When you were here before
Before you went out rovin' and a-ramblin'
Now I sing no more
Bells will ring no more
That song and dance, that old romance that took you around the world
[Verse 2]
I'm disoriented, I'vе been traveling so long
Were you just hеre beside me in this room now, or are you gone?
This confusion covers everything now
I used to live for the illusion, now the illusion's breaking down
[Chorus]
As it did before
When you were here before
Before you bit off more than you can handle
Now I speak no more
Turn the cheek no more
Do that song and dance, that old romance that took you around the world
[Verse 3]
You're no good to me when you're broken
Hard to look at when you're all messed up
And your heart is pouring out in all directions
There's no shame in losin'
Being the bearer of the beaten hand
And the truth came out when the cards went down on the table
[Chorus]
As they did before
When you were here before
Before you told me that I oughta be grateful
Now I sing no more
Wear your ring no more
Do that song and dance, that old romance that took you around the world
And I'll speak no more
Turn the cheek no more
Not since you made me swear upon the Bible
And I sing no more
Bells will ring no more
To that old romance, that second chance that's heard even before
That I'll speak no more
Turn the cheek no more
[Outro]
Well, you know where to find me
If the curtains are drawn
You can come
