As It Was

Hozier

11

There is a roadway

Muddy and foxgloved

Never I′d have life enoughMy heart is screamin' out

And in a few days

I would be there, love

Ever here that′s left in

Me is yours just as it was

Just as it was, baby

Before the otherness came

And I knew its name

The drug, the dark, the light, the flame

Eyes at the heights of my baby

Let's hope at the fight of my baby

The lights were as bright as my baby

But your love was unmoved

And tell me if somehow

Some of it remained

How long you would wait for me?

How long I've been away

The shape that I′m in now

You′re shaping the doorway

Make your good love known to me

Just tell me about your day

Just as it was, baby

Before the otherness came

And I knew its name

The drug, the dark, the light, the shame

Eyes at the heights of my baby

And this hope at the fight of my baby

And the lights were as bright as my baby

But your love was unmoved

And the sights were as stark as my baby

And the cold cut as sharp as my baby

And the nights were as dark as my baby

Half as beautiful too
