She knows

when happiness is the pain you're feelin'
and tears the road you're travellin'
somethin's gone wrong

when thunder is the sound you're hearing
and skies over head turn into that pale colour of grey
somethin's gone wrong

since she went away, thunder's been rollin'
skies have been closin' up' turnin' into that
sad sound of rain

and life, messes with me all day...

she knows

A pain I can bear

she was one great woman
never said she'd leave kept
me satisfied in love with so
little I was pleased

now she's gone away feelin'
out of touch out of place never
broke the peace yet she never
left me

I decided to call it a day used
me as a puppet with whom she
would play a toy thrown into
its shade

I'm stuck with my love thought
she wouldn't leave my heart misses
its beat yet it won't bring her back
to me

so I'm sittin' here with a wasted life
with a pain I can bear it'll heal in time
packin' my suitcases

haven't got much left collecting
all my things don't think I'll be
back

And I know you do

and again you've gone leaving me
all the good things inside of you yet
the best thing in you, you didn't leave
the best thing in you is you and me

and you must go, as you must, you must
go, you have my trust, go to that place in
time, live there for a while spend some
time on yourself, resting your weary mind

as I know you worry a lot, to where we are
and...are not, and you will be gone for some
time, walking the earth somewhere, with me
wondering , what you're doing so far away
in exile

and I'll never know the reason 'why' and yet...
I'll never need to, 'cause you're coming back
all smiles, having made up your mind, about
all that it is you desire

'cause whatever you do, I will always be
that what it is you need and...
I know you do
