To One Who Didn't Know You

When I asked you how youd been
You told me you were fine
But I knew it was a lie
Because I could see the lines
Of tiredness on your brow
And the tension in your eyes
Ii Yet to anothers face
There would have been no trace
Of trouble in your day
To one whod never seen
The shadow of your dreams
Or the strangeness of your ways
To one who didnt know you
Or want to touch and hold you
To one who didnt need you
Whod never learned to read you
To one who didnt love you,
Wasnt aching just to hug you
Youd look fine
To one who didnt know your crazy mind
Youd look fine.
Iii
I knew youd have a friend
Waiting in the bar
cause thats the way you are
She looked like she was kind
And spoke with strength of mind
That had served her well so far.
But I hoped that she was tough
And wouldnt hurt too much
When youd decide to go And I swear I almost died
When I saw in her eyes
The image of my own.
Repeat chorus
To one who didnt know you
Or want to touch and hold you
To one who didnt need you
Whod never learned to read you
To one who didnt love you,
Wasnt aching just to hug you
Youd look fine
So very, very fine
To one who didnt know your crazy mind
Youd look fine.
