Lyrics

Dawn breeze brushed my cheek and I knew what I had to leave Dawn chorus came on glorious all wrapped up in your sheets Beneath the noise, there was silence And what was left was ours to surprise us And you could say, you could say that You could say that it was my knowing But I never knew, no, I never knew No, I never knew where this would be going All the stories people tell and all the tales I heard from myself It's best you know or else get told the soft flesh that beats Beneath your breast Beneath the noise, there's only silence And all that's left comes on to surprise us And you could blame it, you could blame it You could blame it on my knowing But I never knew, no, I never knew No, I never knew where this would be going I was lonely as the moon who longs for the sun to come by I'd wait and wait and wait and wait But never seem to share the same sky Beneath the noise, there's always silence And what is left comes on to surprise us And I could say that I could swear that I could swear that it was my knowing But I never knew, no, I had no clue, no, I never knew Where this would be going
