Daylight comes to me a road, a road
I was gone before I knew
You who'd always been the conduit for tears
When no one else could hear us at all

See the road
Didn't know that you were on my mind
Black and blue was all I left behind

Got no words that don't know why
I bled it out into goodbye
I could see the light beneath the door

I've been here before I knew how
Before I knew how

Daylight comes to me, a road, a road
I've been here before I knew
You who'd always been the conduit for tears
When no one else could hear them at all

See the road
Didn't know that you were on my mind
Black and blue is all I ever find

Got no words, I don't know why
Bled it out into goodbye
I could see the light beneath the door

I'd been here before I knew how
Before I knew how

And don't you deal as if photographs
Don't have a right up on the wall
But you might take a peak on the sly
Sweetest chord I ever heard
Sweet enough to please the Lord
Just might be a mote in my eye

Got no words, I don't know why
You bled it out into goodbye
I could see before I knew how
Before I knew how
Before I knew how
