about

Apart from general feelings about “life” and a shared inner sense of things, I have no idea what this means ;-) Thanks to Chris Conway for suggesting the “tiller to the weather-vane” lyric.

From Storm Thieves album “Long Time”, originally released 1995

lyrics

Something You Don’t Know

Free from the moorings, cut free from my blind trusting
I was afraid but the stars spoke of a home and a harbour
I had no rudder so I gave my tiller to the weather-vane
And sailed into port with the moon rising low

I know something you don’t know
I know something you don’t know
I could never explain,
So please don’t ask me why

I wake every day with a voice over my left shoulder saying that
Death is your friend—it's taking you to places that you’d never go,
If you thought your life was forever you’d give yourself away too freely
Never sail into port with the moon rising low

I know something you don’t know
I know something you don’t know
I could never explain,
So please don’t ask me why
I could never explain,
So please don’t ask me why

I look in the mine of your eye, in the rich, deep vein of this trust, and
The face in the mirror’s the same; we wonder where the time has gone
If you thought that this was forever, and we have ourselves away so freely
Then we sailed into port with the moon rising low

I know something you don’t know
I know something you don’t know
I could never explain,
So please don’t ask me why
I could never explain,
So please don’t ask me why

I know something you don’t know
I know something you don’t know
