Never Known
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I cry in my sleep
Sometimes you stay
Sometimes you stay
You never know why
Please say my name
Don't turn away
[chorus]
The pain is black
The pain is bright
The pain is black
The pain is bright
The pain is bright
Then I awake
And in the half light
Watching my movements
Through half closed eyes
You're touching me
As a priest loves pornography
We played beneath the patterns[?]
Don't turn away
[chorus]
Kissed by the years
Caresses of time
Marking the lines
The lines of expression
The patterns of place
The patterns of youth
The patterns of love
Don't turn away
Say my name
Say my name
[chorus]
