I Know The Times
Jandek · Other Songs - Jandek
We spent together
Weren't always meant to be
Oh the voices outside that we heard so clearly
Weren't meant for us to hear
So it's true I was with you
With you an everlasting moment
Grew to be
Listen to the other side of life
Listen, don't turn back the tide of life
If I should go and try to find
The only thing that's on my mind
Each and every day I dream a dream
In which I don't return
But I can never feel the threat
No never feel a threat of losing
Anything I get for free
So listen to the other side of life
Listen, don't turn back the tide of life
