[INTRO — SOFT REPEATING GUITAR] I'm afraid of a future where I do not wake. That I might live among monstrous dreams. [VERSE 1] The morning comes. The curtains move. I turn my head. And there are you. You look at me with gentle eyes— the kind you give to strangers passing by. [PRE-CHORUS] I know your hands. I know that face. You look again— And there you are. [CHORUS] You knew me. You knew me. Just now. I saw the years come rushing out. You reached for me. I knew that hand. Then you asked me who I am. [INSTRUMENTAL — GUITAR MOTIF CHANGES] [VERSE 2] I tried the words we used to say. I held your hand. You looked away. The photograph. The place. The date. You smiled at something I couldn't make you stay. [CHORUS] You knew me. You knew me. Just now. I saw the years come rushing out. I searched your eyes. I searched again. How do I reach you where you've been? [BRIEF SILENCE] Was I awake? Was that the dream? [FINAL VERSE — INTIMATE] A hand against me. Morning light. The weight of you here by my side. I move in closer. You pull me in. And for a moment, there's nothing to explain. [FINAL REFRAIN — WARM HARMONIES] You know me. You know me. Right now. The years are here. We're here somehow. I know your hands. I know this place. I close my eyes against your face. [OUTRO — MOTIF FINALLY RESOLVES] If it must end... Let me remember. Let me remember this. [SOFT, DECISIVE END]
