The Dana Fuchs Band I Know You Know lyrics

I can see you in my mind's eye
Whiskey and cigarettes - you won't cry
Afraid a tear might spill your cup over

And you'd just drown in the overflow
flooded by a truth you don't wanna know
So you empty your cup, never quenching your thirst

Well there's a hard rain ready to blow
Waiting for you to say you know
And I know you know

I can hear you in every word I say
wishing you would hear yourself that way
but a voice that loud might shatter glass

Then your house could come crashing down
And cut you with it's piercing sound
And your heart might never stop bleeding for you

(chorus)


Oh what a shame that you won't just let the rain
Ever really show you all the life that it could bring
It hurts leaving you behind
But I've already wasted so much time
Cause you're not getting better
And I can't wait forever

I can feel you in everything I do
Wishing that you could do it too
But I think by now you ought to know you can

But you refuse to try
So tell me baby, why should I
Well I think now that I ought to try not to

(chorus)
