I Know Myself

It takes a lot, babe, I know myself
After this time I'm going to someone else
You feel uncertain, black orchid petal
In an empty vase on the sill
I don't care how golden your hair
How blue your eyes, how fractured your stare
Don't remember nothing back then
My eyes did smile but, oh, my heart was thin
If I ever knew you, so hard to tell
But it never got to me, I know myself

From the dead, from the dead, from ahead
When they came, sang guitar on my bed
Didn't they tell you, love, the love, the love's there
Don't go on and bother me

You know my love, since they be gone
It takes a year or two to carry on
Natural, perchance, that's all my babe
For you, pictured love, I'm all bad

For prayers, and doubts, and tunes
And sail right on
In time, instead and now
And nothing on you

You live two storms too soon
Darling, the storm is soon
Truly, I'm coming
I hope you're finding you

I will - storm too
I will - storm too
I wish storms to you

(I'm too bad)
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
Darling, you know I'm too bad
