Purple Prose - I Didn't Know lyrics

rate me

<b>I Didn't Know</b> by <i>Purple Prose</i><br />The car bristled with silence

That summer morning

Thoughts unspoken burned

so violent, a fiery warning

That you were slipping out of sight

Slowly Sinking

Like a noteless suicide

I said nothing. I didn't know

Which way to go.

I couldn't grow in your shadow

In a storm of loneliness

I was disappearing

The sad light of your life

You watched it fading

A ghost in your garden

Was I so frightening?

Shedding childhood like a snake

As quick as listening

You didn't know

Girls have to grow

I was aglow, I had to go

The wolves waitin' in the woods

Were sure good loking

The lure of their lairs

Was so liberating

But troubled hands and lips

Leave a hungry feeling

There are no moon or stars

In a low, dark ceiling

I didn't know

How the river would flow

My ribbons and bows

Lay in the meadow

I felt so low, I didn't know

How to say no, I felt so low

I didn't know, but now I know
