The Last Night Of Not Knowing You

I've been through it all, sorted shade from light

Recounted each step that I made on that night

Along stone-cobbled streets scribbled throughout the town

To a candle-lit bar, university ground

A friend in a band was what brought you there too

On the last night of not knowing you

The last night of not knowing you

An arrangement of strangers, tables and chairs

Tobacco and wine left me fuzzy upstairs

But what weak minds prevent well hard proof may allow

Did my eyes have a spark that they seem to have now?

A blurred photo taken that eve holds not a clue

On the last night of not knowing you

The last night of not knowing you

I've counted each hour, I've been through it all

Each coin spent at the bar and each game of pinball

Days from last week I cannot tell fiction from fact

But that night upon request I could re-enact

In a town far from home I was just passing through

On the last night of not knowing you

The last night of not knowing you

It's easy to say with hindsight in your hand

Some divine puppeteer had the whole meeting planned

But what if the promoter had of pulled out as some promoters do

The band wouldn't have played, the gig would have fell through

An earthquake could have split this planet in two

On the last night of not knowing you

The last night of not knowing you
