"You Don't Know Me" lyrics

"You Don't Know Me"

You have seen me through my windows
In the heat of different lights
You've held me 'till I trembled
Loved me 'till I cried
Now you're off to far horizons
I can see your other side
They'll be news of this tomorrow
So tonight we'll sit here quiet

You don't know me
Baby, you don't know me

When I dream I take you with me
Though you never really go
To the places where I travel
To the secrets left untold
So you held me deep inside you
In a place that felt like home
Ah the face it's so familiar
It's the heart you'll never know

You don't know me
Baby, you don't know me

Round the colours of deception
At the risk of telling lies
In the opposite direction
There's a temporary high
But it's only one more dead end
On a street that's paved with gold
Ah you can't create a reason
For the mystery to unfold

You don't know me
Baby, you don't know me
