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
