Текст песни Before Then After - The Lost Connection

The journey was long - in the 80s it begun
The route was unclear and the destination unknown

2019
Lost Property
Then the 5 'Best Ofs'
Most of my last 10 year history

New relationship
In 20 20
Vision become after
Voluntary Redundancy

Dreamland in the 90s
Finally came to light
Revitalised
With Reality in sight
Sold the house in 21
Employed once again
After moving home
I was joined by my girlfriend
The New Lost World
Which COVID did create
A year away from work, then engaged
It was a great escape

The Lost And Found History, 2021 updated
And completed
22 years of brief encounters
On one album release

Whatever Happened
Ended the story
The Words Behind The Music
Are Lost In Reality

The journey was long, was long, was long
In the 80s it begun
The route was unclear, unclear, unclear
And the destination unknown

New ideas in 22
Developed in 23
Plans for 24
Life was now worth living for

Book published
This album released
Wedding in September, too
Then Venice for the honeymoon cruise

Before Then After, Our Big Day
What will become though? Things are getting heavy so
Just another question - how heavy will it get?
Weather, war or something more serious in '24
Hope we stay alive to see 25

The journey was long, was long, was long
In the 80s it begun
The route was unclear, unclear, unclear
And the destination unknown

But, now at the end of a journey in time
A wake from the dream in reality I find
I've arrived!, with a subtle landing
Without any pressure and so undemanding
My entrance was discreet, in the background I sneak
Invisible, but audible, unnoticed by nearly all
But the literal types might get to read
The Words Behind The Music and like what they see
I have released the inner me
Laid bare for all to see... and hear
And now present, but Lost, but where will things go
In the future though?
God only knows! Or maybe not?
The journey was completed, but whatever comes to be
I know that We Won't Stop
And Together Forever her and me
But in the world today I think it's fair to say we want
Peace not war, instead of fighting and dying
Life is for living, sharing and giving
Not taking and killing
Civies on the streets, with no sanitation or heating
Amongst what were buildings, but now just ruins
Wars are horrific, but floods and fires too
Volcanos erupting - what can we do?
Some were born to love, but some were born to kill, it seems
We need to segregate the good from the bad
Or compromise and harmonise
Maintain life by preventing death
While we are here, seek joy and happiness
With no fear or threats, handle life without regrets
Learn from mistakes, mourn for the dead
But rise with positivity in our heads
But I have no power, but try to preserve
My life in love and passion, trusting our Mother Earth
Will gain control from the lap of the Gods
And tame the weather and ease the pressure
And let the future continue
With more pleasure than pain
So in this universe
Humanity can remain
Before, then after

The journey was long, was long, was long
In the 80s it begun
The route was unclear, unclear, unclear
And the destination unknown
The journey was long - in the 80s it begun
The route unclear and the destiny unknown
The journey was long - in the 80s it begun
The route unclear And the destination unknown
Before, then after

Before 2019, then
20, 21, 22, 23
After
2024
Before 2019, then
20, 21, 22, 23
After
2024
