I Only Knew You As A Stranger
Hold back the day a little longer
I need the night to make me blind
I didn't know it but I know it now
I only knew you as a stranger all this time
I thought I'd climbed up every mountain
I thought I'd walked each weary shore
But every word hits like a hammer
And I can't take it any more
A woman for a friend is no answer for a man
He needs a lover too
Someone to be beside him to share each winning hand
To help him see it through
You mouth frames words that cannot hide your face
It's written there in every line
I didn't know it but I know it now
I only knew you as a stranger all this time.
As I Used To Know Her
if you have words to speak of her
don't use the time to talk of shame
the lies you sell are not of her
but of another with her name
she wandered through my changing years
on all she touched she left her trace
and all the wonders of the day
where bowed in shame before her grace
I knew her in her Winter coat
wrapped against the biting cold
I knew her naked in the sun
she reached into my very soul
I still can taste her sweet perfume
imagination still it plays
her face lit with that crocked smile
a whisper of my young days
so do not taint me with your tongue
what's truth to you is not for me
just turn your face and walk away
and leave me with my memories
and if you speak if her at all
don't use the words that twist and stain
for I would know her only
as I used to know her then
Love Like A Lady
Nobody knows what I mean
And nobody knows where I've been
I've been lonely so long
Something's gone wrong
And my memory's gone like my reason
So when you lay down beside me at night
And you reach up and you turn out the light
Just turn it down low if you don't I may go
I like to know what I am doin'
Love like a lady you've got to learn
Love at a distance else you might burn
Look at the people none of them free
Love like a lady love just like me
And maybe I doing it wrong
And maybe I come on to strong
But you know my view
That I don't like to choose
Between loving and loosing my reason
So don't make life you don't understand
I can feel by the touch of your hand
You're moving too near
Speaking too clear
And I don't want to hear what you're saying
Love like a lady you've got to learn
Love at a distance else you might burn
Look at the people none of them free
Love like a lady love just like me
Love like a lady you've got to learn
Love at a distance else you might burn
Look at the people none of them free
Love like a lady love just like me
Love like a lady you've got to learn
Love at a distance else you might burn
Look at the people none of them free
Love like a lady love just like me.
