Текст песни I Thought I Knew You Well - Tony Joe White

A frown was on her face
Her smile had been erased
And she was makin' plans to catch a train
It's easy to explain
You know that something's change
And she was never one to stand in the rain

Well ya never can tell
I thought I knew you well

Now why can't you see
There's not enough room for me
Maybe I could sleep upon the floor
Over by the door
My feet feel just like lead
And there's a spinning in my head
Perhaps sometimes I'll sleep upon your bed

Well ya never can tell
I thought I knew you well

Now the truth is plain to see
As the dirt on your knees
What's bad for you is sometimes worse for me
And although your shoes are worn
And your clothes are old and torn
Did I hear you say you wish you was never born

Well ya never can tell
I thought I knew you so well

He said farewell to thee
Then he hugged his family
And cast his ship upon the sea of time
And now the time has come
When I would like to run
But I will stand and face whatever comes

Well ya never can tell
I thought I knew you well
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord you never can tell ...
