Dana Fuchs I Know You Know Lyrics

I can see you in my mind's eye Whiskey and cigarettes-you won't cry Afraid a tear might spill your cup over And you'd just drown in the overflow flooded by a truth you don't wanna know So you empty your cup, never quenching your thirst

Well there's a hard rain ready to blow Waiting for you to say you know And I know you know

I can hear you in every word I say wishing you would hear yourself that way but a voice that loud might shatter glass Then your house could come crashing down And cut you with it's piercing sound And your heart might never stop bleeding for you
Chorus

Oh what a shame that you won't just let the rain Ever really show you all the life that it could bring It hurts leaving you behind But I've already wasted so much time

Cause you're not getting better And I can't wait forever I can feel you in everything I do Wishing that you could do it too But I think by now you ought to know you can

But you refuse to try So tell me baby, why should I Well I think now that I ought to try not to Chorus
