You'll never know, you'll never know
The words I write, the places that I've been to
I'll never see, I'll never see
The woman you started out to be
A fragile dawn, this brittle sun
Touches us both
At different times
Wiping the same kind of dreams
From our clogged up eyes
Headache like bad traffic
You tip toed out of bed
About the time I had my head in my hands
Over something, over something
I can't remember now
You'll never know, you'll never know
The shape of my hands when the sky is blue
I'll never see, I'll never see
Your moment of sudden clarity
So, this much of it is the same
It can be measured, reduced, qualified
There's too much that's difference
Too. I think that skirt is pretty
And it really goes with those heels
I think that your eyes are pretty
And believe me man, it shows.
And here is the space where God belongs
I need it as much as you
Even if we use different names
You'll never know, you'll never know
Words I write, seeds I sow
I'll never see, I'll never see
You take pictures of the old city
I'll write you a song, I'll make it too long
By a verse, maybe two
Your smile is your currency
And I use a pair of dusty old boots
The same sunset leaves us both
Slightly uninspired
The stars glitter faintly with such great indifference
To either of our lives
All you can do in the world of mirrors
Is your best, be your best
You'll never know, you'll never know
You'll never see, you'll never see
Here is a book, here is a pen
Here is a screen, here is a sign
Clear crystal path, yellow brick road
You follow him, I'm rooting for you all the way
Just keep singing, just keep on singing
Each word lights the way
Somehow, somewhere... I feel its true
Anyway. Applejack sky
Blackberry shoes, liquorice water
To drink every day before two
I talk about my childhood more than you do
Because I wasnt that happy
I just wanted you to know
I'm getting a lot better, you know, these days
Lemonade rain storm, violent pink shirt
A broken recorder, a off brown leather skirt
I'll mend your recorder, I was always good
With mechanical things
I see your space
Down a telephone line
Between your face
And the headline
Is a good clean 3 inches
It's important, I guess you know already
But I would definitely advise you
To take your umbrella with you
When you walk in the park
There's black snow falling upwards
Round by the old swings and slide
Where the older kids used to play ouija board
Gravity has to take control
Some time, some time.
Hey, I saw a lot of things
The last time I walked those ways
There were christmas lights
In a seven sided pattern
Moving me from left to right
A lot of the things Ive heard from you
Ive taken to heart as well
Oh, I know it was just a song
But in a general way, I dont see why
It cant mean something, anyway
In this life of ours
Hope is important
You told me that, I always bore it mind
However long it rained
I'll never know, I'll never know
I never see, I never see
You were a girl, you were a woman
You were an actress, you won many of our hearts.
