Capo 3rd fret
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
my love i've pictured this your violet eyelids
opened to say "here's where you've been"
your lips open to say "my darling it's been
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
my love i've pictured this your violet eyelids
opened to say "here's where you've been"
sometimes i picture all your fingers
sometimes they're crawling down my spine
sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
sometimes you're far but you're still mine
sometimes i picture all your fingers
sometimes they're crawling down my spine
sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know I go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain
and not your face
