Before I met you I was in the dark,
Before I met you I was in the dark.
Before we met I was an easy mark,
Before we met I was an easy mark.
But you stroked the chalk off my back,
You threw your body in the way of their dishonesty.
You gave me shelter from the hawk of doom,
You gave me shelter from the hawk of doom.
You are the one thing I can't lose,
but looking back, you get the looking back blues
Before I met you, the thunderhead loomed,
Before I met you, the thunderhead loomed,
You gave me shelter from the hawk of doom,
You gave me shelter from the hawk of doom.
You know how you sometimes do,
You look back and you feel blue.
