You Knew Us So Well - Howard Jones

Did we fail to see you crumble

Did we watch you fade to black

Jaw hanging brain aching no one can handle

Did we forget?

To understand

Did you have it planned?

We all thought that we knew you so well

So much love to give and take

Many dreams and plans to make

Can’t believe it we knew you so well

Hardly bare to think what you went through

As your feet fell through the air

Hanging in a void of hopeless darkness

Way beyond despair

But you made us doubt

We would’ve heard your cry

Of desolation

We went there as well

So much love to give and take

Must go on to celebrate

What you gave us

You knew us so well

Rippling through a generation

Aftershocks for years to come

The angry final step is taken

Never to be undone

On the other side

Was a wave to ride

Through the storm cloud

To bring you to shore

So much love to give and take

Must go on to celebrate

What you gave us

You knew us so well
