I KNOW YOU WELL

This morning under a waking glow The sun filled our room like December snow Like morning through an old window There's a place in your head I will always know To the same world born, two of a kind If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause I know you well Like the soil in the ground The grass grown in the shadow of a bell And if the bell will never toll, you & me grow old I hope we will live to tell How you know I know you knew I know you well Down under beneath the softened skin Will the words we whisper sink in? It's no wonder the way the words still ring Sure as sin it's not a secret thing To the same world born, two of a kind If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause I know you well Like the soil in the ground The grass growin in the shadow of a bell If the bell will never toll, you & me grow old I hope we will live to tell How you know I know you knew I know New York 1991 here in the same row for so long Out of the cold November Still as a passport picture Still as a passport picture Still as a passport picture To the simple born, two of a kind If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause I know you well Like the soil in the ground The grass growin in the shadow of a bell If the bell will never toll, you & me grow old I hope we will live to tell How you know I know you knew I know you well
