I Know You

You know that I know you

And you know me, but not that well

We know that some things fit

I got snake bit but it didn’t swell

 

Take your time with me baby

By now you know the story well

I got framed for the midnight robbery

Ridin’ on a slow train

On its return trip from Hell

 

Alright I’ll kiss you

The way you asked me to in return

And I’ll do my best

To make the walls glow and burn

 

You know it happened so quickly

I could have been tripped

Maybe I fell

That knot on my head

How it got there

Don’t take my word

It’s best you decide for yourself

 

You know I have a space where I place

Things that break and wear at the seams

There I keep an old Italian suit

I’ve got some fine leather boots

True love, innocence and dreams

 

In time, some of these things I’ll part with

Others I’m gonna want to hold on to

There’s space in the place between them

Space enough to place something new

 

In time, some of these things I’ll part with

Others I’m gonna want to hold on to

There’s space in the place between them

Space enough to place something new
