You Knew Me Then - Keren Ann

Where is this place with no alleys or roads

With water aplenty and sun-shining loads

No expectations, no rules and no codes

The mornings were endless and time nearly froze

You knew me then, you knew me then

I must have slept while you became the better man

You knew me then, you knew me grand

I had a lifetime to spend

There were the plans you chose not to forsake

I was a bit older, ten years give or take

But your heart was unsettled, all willing to ache

Right there with the music that kept me awake

You knew me then, you knew me then

I must have slept while you became the better man

You knew me then, you knew me grand

I had a lifetime to spend

The light-headed and clear has turned baffled and deep

With luggage to carry and no hours of sleep

Now the city is smoking, but the language is cheap

The mornings seem shallow and conversations brief

You knew me then, you knew me then

I must have slept while you became the better man

You knew me then, you knew me grand

I had a lifetime to spend
