Keren Ann - You Knew Me Then lyrics

Where is this place with no alleys or roads With water aplenty and sun-shining loads No expectations, no rules and no codes The mornings were endless and time nearly froze You knew me then, you knew me then I must have slept while you became the better man You knew me then, you knew me grand I had a lifetime to spend There were the plans you chose not to forsake I was a bit older, ten years give or take But your heart was unsettled, all willing to ache Right there with the music that kept me awake You knew me then, you knew me then I must have slept while you became the better man You knew me then, you knew me grand I had a lifetime to spend The light-headed and clear has turned baffled and deep With luggage to carry and no hours of sleep Now the city is smoking, but the language is cheap The mornings seem shallow and conversations brief You knew me then, you knew me then I must have slept while you became the better man You knew me then, you knew me grand I had a lifetime to spend
