All I Ever Knew
Suns goes down for the last time
like it did the day before
The ghosts come out.
Stars shine through,
and everything speaks about you.
Strawberries and milk on the hillside
and your smile struck me so true.
And so today is yesterday.
Seems it's all I ever knew.
The juggler danced,
the knight smiled sadly
when he saw your purity.
That was the best.
This is the rest.
Seems it's all I ever knew.
Buzzards roosting in the tall pines.
Black dog barking as he runs.
The darkness freezes.
Sadness eases.
Come to my dreams tonight, My Love.
Down yonder meadow where the grass grows green
where you and I used to walk,
the prettiest flowers that you ever did see
have withered on the stalk.
The juggler danced,
the knight smiled sadly
when he saw your purity.
That was the best.
This is the rest.
Seems it's all I ever knew.
