I Know You Well

This morning under awaking 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

Grass grown in the shadow of a bell

And if the bell will never toll

You and me grow old

I hope we'll live to tell

How you know I know you knew I know you well

Down under, beneath the softened skin

Where 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

Grass grown in the shadow of a bell

And if the bell will never toll

You and me grow old

I hope we'll live to tell

How you know I know you knew I know New York 1991

Here in the same room for so long

Out of the cold November

Still as a passport picture

Still as a passport picture

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

Grass grown in the shadow of a bell

And if the bell will never toll

You and me grow old

I hope we'll live to tell

How you know I know you knew I know you well
