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
