Michael Tomlinson I Knew You Well
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
