Mike And The Mechanics - Before (The Next Heartache Falls) Lyrics

A freezing cold December brings a chill into my heart
And fills me with an emptiness now we're so far apart
Lost in my confusion now through everything I see
Oh won't you come on back I need you here with me

[Chorus:]
Before
Before
Before the next heartache falls
Before
Before the next heartache falls

Lonely as the darkness casts a spell upon the night
I'm past the point of caring if I'm wrong or I am right
I wonder if you realise oh just what it means to me
Listen to me darlin' I'm just let you see

[Chorus]

Early morning finds me at the house upon the hill
Everywhere the laughter reminds me of you still
I'm haunted by the memories all too easy to recall
I would dare to mention there's a lesson for us all

[Chorus]

Tears already falling like the rain upon the ground
When the storm is over no trace of it is found
Never will I understand how you vanished like the rain
Tell me that you'll come back and let me live again

[Chorus]
