i know i'll never see you
i know i'll never run into your body walking through the crooked streets
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 thoughts 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 i'll never see you
i know that where you go i'll still be far from where you are
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"
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 that it is raining
and i know that the rain will soak you through
and leave you like the tattered sky
i know i go in circles
i know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
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 that it is raining and
i know that the rain will soak you through and leave you like the tattered sky
i know i go in circles
i know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
