i know myself

it takes a lot

babe

i know myself

after this time i'm going to someone else

you feel uncertain

black orchid petal

in an empty vase on the sill

i don't care how golden your hair

how blue your eyes

how fractured your stare

don't remember nothing back then

my eyes did smile but

oh

my heart was thin

if i ever knew you

so hard to tell

but it never got to me

i know myself

from the dead

from the dead

from ahead

when they came

sang guitar on my bed

didn't they tell you

love

the love

the love's there

don't go on and bother me

you know my love

since they be gone

it takes a year or two to carry on

natural

perchance

that's all my babe

for you

pictured love

i'm all bad

for prayers

and doubts

and tunes

and sail right on

in time

instead and now

and nothing on you

you live two storms too soon

darling

the storm is soon

truly

i'm coming

i hope you're finding you

i will - storm too

i will - storm too

i wish storms to you

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad

darling

you know i'm too bad
