lyrics

The Girl I Knew
(T.Browne)

She’s got a brand new team of
Professional extraordinaires
She’s got her history deleted
Like she doesn’t even care
And I am watching from a distance
As she’s rising through the air
And starting to fly
We had a friendship like no other
No other that I’ve known
Not even like a lover
She took me for her own
And I spent many days and nights
Building trust so we could grow
But now I sing alone
So where’s The Girl I Knew?
Who wanted to take the world by storm
The Girl I Knew
Who trusted that I’d never let her down
I can’t blame her, ‘cos I left and I ran and I lied
But does she know
That I wish I never had
She was a consummate protester
Of how good she could be
I was her musical investor
Like it was meant to be
And maybe moments trigger moments
One day she’ll come back to me
And we’ll sail across that sea
So where’s The Girl I Knew?
Who wanted to take the world by storm
The Girl I Knew
Who trusted that I’d never let her down
I can’t blame her, ‘cos I left and I ran and I lied
But does she know
That I wish I never had
And time is passing by
It won’t run backwards, however hard I try
I can only trust in the feeling that’s inside
That we’re not done
So where’s The Girl I Knew?
Who wanted to take the world by storm
The Girl I Knew
Who trusted that I’d never let her down
I can’t blame her, ‘cos I left and I ran and I lied
But does she know
That I wish I never had
I wish I never had
I wish I never had

For Tracey Browne & Raevennan Husbandes see traceyraevennan.bandcamp.com

Often deceptively straightforward and shot through with a pop sensibility, Browne's material seems hand crafted to catch those fleeting, transient moments, the times in lives where the axis tilts, the season begins to change and the balance hangs... ... more
