Eleanor Mcevoy To One Who Didn`t Know You Lyrics

To One Who Didn`t Know You Lyrics

I
When I asked you how you`d been
You told me you were fine
But I knew it was a lie
Because I could see the lines
Of tiredness on your brow
And the tension in your eyes

II
Yet to another`s face
There would have been no trace
Of trouble in your day
To one who`d never seen
The shadow of your dreams
Or the strangeness of your ways

CHORUS
To one who didn`t know you
Or want to touch and hold you
To one who didn`t need you
Who`d never learned to read you
To one who didn`t love you,
Wasn`t aching just to hug you
You`d look fine
To one who didn`t know your crazy mind
You`d look fine.

III
I knew you`d have a friend
Waiting in the bar
`Cause that`s the way you are
She looked like she was kind
And spoke with strength of mind
That had served her well so far.
But I hoped that she was tough
And wouldn`t hurt too much
When you`d decide to go
And I swear I almost died
When I saw in her eyes
The image of my own.

REPEAT CHORUS

CHORUS
To one who didn`t know you
Or want to touch and hold you
To one who didn`t need you
Who`d never learned to read you
To one who didn`t love you,
Wasn`t aching just to hug you
You`d look fine
So very, very fine
To one who didn`t know your crazy mind
You`d look fine.
