Homespun Seals - A Charcoal Afternoon

I Once Knew a Woman

I once knew a woman who brought out of me
Something between fear and hypocrisy
That night in Anaheim it was crawling beneath my skin
Well
The feeling of forever, but the reality of the end
Whoa-whoa
Lady of love, light of the day
I am defined by the choices I have made
Yeah

I once knew a woman who brought me to the brink
I arrived at the word love, but escape was all I could think
That day in Bakersfield, in the valley of my withdrawal
Well
Ran my fingers through her hair for a final curtain call
Whoa-whoa
Lady of love, light of the day
I am defined by the choices I have made
Like
Leaving you in the middle of the night
Whoa-whoa
I'm not the man that you want in your life
Lady of love (Lady of love) light of the day
I'm not the man that you want in your life
Anyway

I once knew a woman who brought me to the shore
She laid me down in the sand, but the winds couldn't be ignored
Midnight in Bolinas and the forces we could feel
Well
Ocean waves rolling in, but I couldn't lay down my shield
Whoa-whoa
Lady of love, light of the day
I am defined by the choices I have made
Like
Leaving you in the middle of the night
Whoa-whoa
I'm not the man that you want in your life
Lady of love (Lady of love), light of the day
I'm not the man that you want in your life
Anyway

I once knew a woman
