"I Knew" lyrics - BONNIE RAITT

BONNIE RAITT
"I Knew"

Time, time ain't never healed the wound
Can't think of anything that gets
Any better 'cause it's old

Change, change would prob'ly do me good
Wouldn't prob'ly hurt a thing
Anyway, that's what I'm told

I would have run, but I couldn't run
Would have flown, but I couldn't fly
I woulda headed right back into town
I woulda lied, but I couldn't lie
'Cause I knew

Stop, stop and take a better look
There ain't no telling what you'll find
In the corner of a darkened room

Things, things that either one time fell
Or blew down from a windowsill
Or never got up by the broom

I would have run, but I couldn't run
Would have flown, but I couldn't fly
I woulda headed right back into town
I woulda lied, but I couldn't lie
'Cause I knew

No two ways about it, it's a doggone shame
Baby, it's a doggone shame

I would have run, but I couldn't run
Would have flown, but I couldn't fly
I woulda headed right back into town
I woulda lied, but I couldn't lie
'Cause I knew
