I Wish You Knew Me

by Heads Hands And Feet

on Heads Hands & Feet (Expanded Edition) (1971)

Lady in your high wall of stone
Cast your shadow like a silent chaperone (ahhhhhh)
Did my humble words seem wrong (ahhhhhh)
Did I offend you chapel choir's evensong (ahhhhhh)

I wish you knew me (ahhhhhh - ahhhhhahhhahhh)
Can't get through you at all (ahhhhhh)

Dreams I would build with our lives
Shone discreetly by casting down your eyes
Words that leave me when I call (ahhhhhh)
Grow entangled in the ivy on your wall (ahhhhhh)

I fall unto thee (ahhhhhh- ahhhhhahhhahhh)
Can't get through to you at all

Like a gypsy selling flowers (ahhhhhh)
To a garden full of roses (ahhhhhh)
Like the fool in his towers (ahhhhhh)
Handing you his poses (ahhhhhh)

Like the long winding mill (ahhhhhh)
All life is losing (ahhhhhh)
What am I doing (ahhhhhh)
Hopelessly pursuing
