"I Knew Love" lyrics

"I Knew Love"

I have walked
Through broken glass from houses I destroyed
And I have thrown
Away the keys to hearts I have enjoyed
Yes, I did
Taste heavy, dripping fruits, and bore no shame
And I've been devoured as the rib from whence I came

But I knew love
I knew love
I knew love, and it shined on me
I knew love
I knew love
I knew love, and it shined on me
It shines on me still
It shines on me still

I have felt
Those dawny morning lashes on my cheek
And I've listened
To the steady rhythm breathing of your sleep
Yet I still
Seek yonder pastures, where grass meets the sky
And I surrender
To an unrelenting force stronger than I

I knew love
I knew love
I knew love, and it shined on me
I knew love
I knew love
I knew love, and it shined on me
It shines on me still

Shines on me still
It shines on me still
It shines on me still
It shines on me still
It shines on me still
