Howard Jones - You Knew Us So Well Lyrics

Did we fail to see you crumble
Did we watch you fade to black
Jaw hanging brain aching no one can handle
Did we forget?
To understand
Did you have it planned?
We all thought that we knew you so well

So much love to give and take
Many dreams and plans to make
Can't believe it we knew you so well

Hardly bare to think what you went through
As your feet fell through the air
Hanging in a void of hopeless darkness
Way beyond despair
But you made us doubt
We would've heard your cry
Of desolation
We went there as well

So much love to give and take
Must go on to celebrate
What you gave us
You knew us so well

Rippling through a generation
Aftershocks for years to come
The angry final step is taken
Never to be undone
On the other side
Was a wave to ride
Through the storm cloud
To bring you to shore

So much love to give and take
Must go on to celebrate
What you gave us
You knew us so well
