Jerry Lee Lewis Follow

And you never knew, you never knew
I rolled through the halls like a velvet wave
As quiet as an empty stage

I blackened your eyes and stole the light from your glass
But in the cold calm of the morning
Lay like a death-kite on your lawn
I came to your party dressed as a shadow
Without invitation, without a motive

I parked three streets from the moonlight
The soft walk to your house on a silver string
You were dancing in the backyard to a biscuit-tin beat
I slunk between the notes, posting them off to the night

This is symptomatic of you and me
I have jars full of your breath
I have shelves of your words but you have nothing of me
But a space where I would be

And you never knew, you never knew
I rolled through the halls like a velvet wave
