WE NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER

(Don Breithaupt)

I was walking wounded
Waiting for the sun
Made my mind up early
You would be the only one

But you know we never knew each other
Don’t you know we never even tried
We were distant by design
Wasting precious time
You want another alibi
Another clue
You know we never ever knew each other

I would wake up singing
You would drink the rain
Make ourselves so crazy
Out of mind and back again

Let’s not look back in anger
Watch the bridges burn
Spend one night together
On the beach of no return

We were dancing circles
Listening for the band
You looked cold and nervous
Reaching out your upper hand
