Tony Joe White - I Thought I Know You Well lyrics

A frown was on her face Her smile had been erased And she was makin' plans to catch a train It's easy to explain You know that something's change And she was never one to stand in the rain Well ya never can tell I thought I knew you well Now why can't you see There's not enough room for me Maybe I could sleep upon the floor Over by the door My feet feel just like lead And there's a spinning in my head Perhaps sometimes I'll sleep upon your bed Well ya never can tell I thought I knew you well Now the truth is plain to see As the dirt on your knees What's bad for you is sometimes worse for me And although your shoes are worn And your clothes are old and torn Did I hear you say you wish you was never born Well ya never can tell I thought I knew you so well He said farewell to thee Then he hugged his family And cast his ship upon the sea of time And now the time has come When I would like to run But I will stand and face whatever comes Well ya never can tell I thought I knew you well Yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh Lord you never can tell ...
