 Nanci Griffith - Before Lyrics

I dreamed of Louisiana
And a night in Lafayette
We had breakfast with Susanna
We were young and wild and left

[chorus] What's different here than in that dream
and in reality
Is we weren't afraid to fail in love
and we all believed in the dream
Before…Before

I dreamed of Manhattan
In a time before this war
.23n1765.23132312hnn3r
It was snowing down on Bleecker Street
It was before you were a star

[chorus]

Now everything is twilight
It's a time too dark to see
It's fear of being what we were
And pondering the dream

Then I dreamed of Texas
And the Gulf Coast shores
I dreamed of who we used to be
And the hope we had before

[chorus]
