lyrics

Only I Know

Only I know why
You take three sugars in your tea
And only I know
That you lost a baby
Only I know why
You tried to lose yourself at sea
And only I know
That you really loved me

Well, I’ve been dreaming fondly of
Your raw hide and secret soul
The little parts
That I hold
That I know -oh oh oh
Like broken shards of pottery
Particles of your treasury
I’ll never lose
Never let
Never tell
Never say so
Never say so
‘Cause only I know

You like the smell of burnt out matches
For the little glimpse it catches
Of feeling like you’re free to burn
And smoulder into dust
A runaway in foreign lands
You forage treasures if you can
When you lay low

But there’s places you would rather be
Like June in 1853
Without your phone
Or news reports
Or your thoughts
Darlin’ I know
Only I know

Well, I’ve been dreaming, latching on
To your raw hide and secret soul
The little parts
That I hold
That I know
Like broken shards of pottery
Particles of your treasury
I’ll never lose
Never let
Never tell
Never say so
Never say so
‘Cause only I know
Only I know

Only I know why
You’re lost but unafraid
Only I know
What keeps you here today
Only I see
The things you’ve locked away
But it’s not only me
Who loves you this way
