Three for Silver - I Know, I Know lyrics

I know why the wind howls I know why the ocean waves I know my soul is lost If I swear my soul is saved I know I felt the damp Though I could not feel the rain I know I saw the wound Though I could not feel the pain As the guitar frets and the willow weeps As the twig is bent, so grows the tree Much to do before I sleep Shake off the dust It's time to leave I know why you call my name I know that you'll be true I know that we'll raise hell again 'Cause I know that I need you I know just where we're going - The lie is in theinking that it's ever far I know we won't get lost 'Cause there is no way to where we are A splash of raven's blood in my mother's milk The darkest words have the nicest lilt You've got to let your flag unfurl You need a sailor's legs to walk this crooked world I know I mustn't fear I know I'm not alone I know that every wave must break When the ocean calls them home Still I'm all dressed up for a red letter day Too big for a cradle, won't stay in a grave Could never say what I have seen 'Cause I have slept through all my dreams
