I Knew You'd Understand Songtext
von Richard Murray

Well I see the homefires burnin′ low
And I know we may never rake this coal
You got a loving mind but a weary heart
I got an empty sugar bowl
Well there's times you lied but I always tried to be there
But now the bird has flown
And I traded you for oblivion
In the sting of the redeye zone

And I knew you′d understand
And I knew you like the back of my hand
And I knew you'd understand


Then the wine it turned against me
And I lost m m m m my boogie shoes
And the lights they fell with the falling tide
And my thoughts they turned to blue
And I ran to you, its all I could do
When the darkness swept across my mind
And you rode that crest like Aurora
On the cold terminator line

And I knew you'd understand
And I knew you like the back of my hand
And I knew you′d understand
And I knew you′d understand
And I knew you like the back of my hand
And I knew you'd understand
You′d understand
You'd understand
