I Never Knew You

Well I saw death At winters end St. Peters eyes wouldn't let me in So I drank my wine And played the wind The boys outside, well they're heaven sent Come in you wandering child of dust and clay The gates are wide for those who know their way here Come in you wandering child I know your face, or he'd say I never knew you But I swore I knew you And what is left But half again I made you whole With scars and sin What's dark stays out And what's pure comes in Well I saw death and she let me in Come in you wandering child of dust and clay The gates are wide for those who know their way here Come in you wandering child I know your face, or he'd say I never knew you But I swore I knew you I never knew you But I swore I knew you I never knew you But I swore I knew you I never knew you But I swore I knew you Well I never knew you But I swore I knew you Well I never knew you But I swore I knew you
