Before and After Lyrics by Rush

Rush

1974

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Love ain't seen me coming
Offer something new today
Still don't believe we're fading
But never washed away

[Pre-Chorus]
And now you find a lesson
In what I have to say
Well, the time is right
And it is today

[Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Maybe we could talk about it
And try to get it straight
After all these years, baby
Maybe it's too late

[Pre-Chorus]
But I really need to
Have you by my side
And that's the only feelings
Baby, I can't hide

[Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well you aren't listening, I ain't talking
We ain't getting nowhere
I keep trying to get through to you baby
All you do is stare

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna see that
I need to try to by myself
Well, I don't want to be your lover
Babe, I wanna be your man

[Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, now my story's over, baby
And I ain't gonna tell it twice
Well, you better start listening
Yeah, to my advice

[Pre-Chorus]
Or you're gonna be left out
I said left out in the cold
Yeah, before you get my loving
Babe, you'll be too old

[Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Well, come to me baby
Well, I said yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
