Been awhile. Up to my ears with projects.

Here is a lyric I wrote over 20 years ago that I set to music two months ago. Arranged and recorded the same day, I filed it away. I came across it today and thought I would share.

As If I Really Knew You

As if I really knew you
As if you really cared
My heart has had a breakdown
It can’t be repaired
I came to see you Sunday
By Monday you were gone
As if I really knew you
As if you were the one

As if I saw it coming
As if I turned my eyes
I courted every favor
I didn’t get the prize
For me it all makes sense now
You bounced the ball so high
As if I saw it coming
As if I’d broke the tie

Lost all sense of direction
What’s false is possibly true
I’ve got another thing coming
I can see that it’s coming from you

As if the night becomes you
As if the day betrays
You mentioned once in passing
Love’s an endless maze
At last I solved the puzzle
You ditched the doubts I’d shown
As if I heard the footsteps
As if I called the loan
As if I really knew you
As if you were the one
