Would You Know Me

If we had met during my record store days My fine speaker haze When rare was gold Would you hold this hand this hand I was lost in a melody Among the stacks and scraps of paper If we met would you know me If we had met during my rootless time On the traveling line These edgy feet needed a street to breath or leave I would walk in a fitful dream Among the stones and bones of the city If we met would you know me Would you know me Would you miss me Would you know me We are narrowly tied To a fortunate ride A spin of the earth Think of what might be lost If our paths had but crossed Closer to birth Oh fate such a simple notion To hang your head on in the darkness of night But hesitate and fateful devotion might miss by an ocean And never see light Would you know me Would you miss me Would you know me
