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 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

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
