about

8. You Never Really Knew
[I put out my cigarette and tried to make out her face in the moonlight, but up there above the streets there was not enough light to see past the hair in her eyes. There was something I forgot to say. All I could remember was it had been forgotten. I tried to speak and she laid her hand on mine.]

lyrics

all the things I never said
because the only thing to say
gave me nothing I could give to you
but you knew that
when you spent that night with me there
up on the roof of my new place
that night when all I did was look at your face
your hair in a braid like a girl

it's gone now, that rooftop where
we smoked and mocked the moon
for being a dead thing that could never know
what it felt like
to have this thing we had
call it what you will
under the sky your hand in mine
that night when all I did was look at your face
you were distracted
you didn't see my eyes

in some other country some other land
you're roaming and I think of you
I know you think of me from time to time
well I hope you do
I never said what I wanted to say
that night was no gift to give you
that night when all I did was look at your face
and how I felt you never really knew
