lyrics

Wish I'd got to know ya
But that wasn’t to be
Whichever way I moved
You moved away from me
I was filament
And you were filigree

What can I say
Now you’ve gone away
I’d be glad to have known ya
I’d be glad to have known ya
You are always on my mind
But what you are is undefined
I’d be glad to have known ya
I’d be glad to have known ya

I’d tried to sing my song
You didn’t want to hear
Was I being brash
Or did I get too near
I felt you slip away
I saw me disappear

What kind of wicked ol’ world
Are we living in
What kind of wicked ol’ world
I be giving in

You will never know
The gifts that I could share
There is so much more of me
Than my wicked despair
I will never know how much
Or how little that you care
