The Long Beds: Listen
I Never Knew (kitchen table version)
(Michael Perry and The Long Beds)
(for my little brother)
January days, I can see a trace
Of your breath, out there in space
Sundogs are gold in the blue
One to each side of the sun
A picture of me and you
I never knew, I never knew
Corn rattles cold in the row
The wind is pushing snow
The sky is wicked with crows
They wheel and they plunge from above
Ragged black holes in the gray
Calling like dogs on the bay
I never knew, I never knew
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I stand in the void and I call
Where are you now?
instrumental bridge
It’s green here in June
But it’s cold as an empty room
My heart is hung on the moon
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I never knew, I never knew
I stand in the void and I call
Where are you now?
