Well I Know You're Lonely Now - Karen Black

Well, I know you’re lonely now

I am staying where you left me like a bird returns in spring

To find his nest empty, no more flight

You were wrong, but then again, I wasn’t right

You can hear my footsteps clear

In the darkness they approach you

But of course, there’s no one near

You are hidden like a blackbird in the night

You are blind but, oh, my dear, I have no sight

We could start it up again

You could tell me that I’m crazy

I would say, «But I’m your friend»

You would say my vision’s hazy, and you’re right

Still, I see you watching there all through the night

Come to my door

Through the dark and solemn streets

Though our lives may turn to ashes and our hearts will be complete

Walk from your door, oh, my darling, let’s be fools

For the fool is always wisest

He just never told his truths

If we should begin again

I will love you for no reason

For the seasons make no sense

They just come and go like shadows in the night

We will love, if we are wrong

Or we are right
