i know i'll never see you
i know i'll never run into your body
walking through the crooked steets
i know i'll never hear you
i know i'll never hear you like a sound
that wafts inside from outside there
i know that if i waited
i know that if i wait a thousand days
will lie wasted with thought of you
(Am)
my love i've pictured this your violet eyelids
(Am)
opened to say "here's where you've been"
(Am)
your lips open to say "my darling it's been
(Am)
so very long and i'm in pain"
i know i'll never feel you
i know i'll never get so close to you
that i can't smell anything else
i know that it is raining
and i know that the rain will soak you through
and leave you like a tattered sky
I know I go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain
and not your face
(Am)
my love i've pictured this your violet eyelids
(Am)
opened to say "here's where you've been"
sometimes i picture all your fingers
sometimes they're crawling down my spine
sometimes i picture all your fingers
sometimes they're crawling down my spine
i know i go in circles
i know that window panes bring only rain
and not your face
