You Were Mine

Take my heart

It used to be so supple and sweet

And now it's withered on the vine

There's before

And then there's after

You were mine

Take my faith

So strong and full of fire

Now it's bruised, broken down and blind

There's before

And then there's after

You were mine

You were mine

Sun comes up

Sun goes down

World keeps rollin' around and around

The hands on the clock going

Tick-tock-tick-tock ain't the way I measure time

There's just before

And then there's after

You were mine

You were mine

Take my hands

They used to hold you so tight

Now they reach

But they never touch you in the night

There's before

And then there's after

You were mine

You were mine, mine, mine

Sun comes up

Sun goes down

World keeps rollin' around and around

The hands on the clock going

Tick-tock-tick-tock

That ain't the way that I measure time

There's just before

And then there's after

There's before

And then there's after

There's before

There's before

And then there's after

You were mine

You were mine

You were mine

You were mine

Oh, yeah-yeah

Oh, yeah-yeah

Oh-ho-ho

You were mine, you were mine, you were mine, yeah
