I Knew You Well Lyrics

I Knew You Well lyrics

In the glow of the street lamp you waited
All the world in your eyes
Like
some old photograph worn and dated
All the details were faded
But the
moon in your eyes
Did you know you'd hold a place in me?
This was so long
ago
How I wonder
Just a dream I recall
From some forgotten place
We
were staying
There impatiently waiting
For the winter to
thaw
Chorus:
Did we learn too late about love's way
Were we blind in
fear
Of our heart's embrace?
Well I hold those years inside the
place
We made
in this dark
All my sisters are strangers
I've got
nowhere to fall
I am tired
I thought love made a way for us
Not so
riddled and dangerous
Now I don't know at all
Chorus
Oh I'm wondering
how
All my boundaries were blended
I watch them come down
All the
walls I defended
I can almost smell the clovered hills
In the shadows
there we linger still
But I can't replace the time
I knew you well
