That's us, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
I just want to be, wherever you are
Hard as I can be, it's never too hard
With this our love to see, by it's own light
Love inside of me, it's working at night
Seconds before I see in the dark
Seconds turn, this time that, it's so
Coming to, seconds turn, this time that I
Such fun to be with
It's a big old world
With nothing in it
I can't wait to see you
Another minute
It's a wild combination, it's a wild combination
It's a wild, it's a loving you baby
It's a talk in the dark, it's a walk in the morning (x2)
That's us, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
That's us, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
For a price, push up and be part of it all
Surfing, swimming
(It's a wild combination)
That's us before we got there
That's morning time before we got there
That's morning time before we got there
That's morning time before we got there
That's you, me, on self-timer
We're leaving at five in the morning
We could get better mileage
That's you, in the pool, you're a swimmer
What a winner, you peek out
That's us before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
That's us before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
That's you, me, on self-timer
We're leaving at five in the morning
We could get better mileage
That's you in the pool, it's a swimmer
What a winner, you peek
That's morning time, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there
That's morning time, before we got there

i'm depressed by the fact that i am like the only comment on most arthur russell songs (especially this one) but once i was talking to a friend online and they noted how sometimes you actually understand a line of arthur's in a song and it just....hits you. like right in the gut and then you want to cry. this is one of those songs for me, there's just something magic in there.
tldr, this is the only love song that matters tbh
@gabbagabbaheygirl I totally agree with you, I listen to this song in the car and just let go and feel it, tears come to my eyes. But happy tears, tears because you know life is fleeting and this beautiful moment he's describing will eventually be gone no matter what.
