I Know You Know

Ashtray on the windowsill
 Fills with falling rain
 The morning meets my eyes again
 The things we never say
 When we're wide awake
 I hear them echo through the day
 Rattle around in my dreams why don't you
 Little bird, my turtledove
 You're walking in my sleep like there is
 Something that you need to know
 I know you know I know
 I know you know I know
 The sleeve your elbow went through
 The holes you never patch
 Your tattered rags in shades of black
 Clothes don't make the man
 But I love that velvet coat
 The ties I've fixed around your throat
 Rattle around in my dreams why don't you
 Dirty dog, you billy goat
 You're walking in my sleep like there is
 Something that you need to know
 I know you know I know
 I know you know I know
 Maybe there's a way
 To ease my worried head
 Prescription filled or fortune read
 But no doctor fortune teller
 Could treat me like you do
 I go to bed and wait for you
 Rattle around in my dreams why don't you
 Whisper things in secret code
 You're walking in my sleep like there is
 Something that you need to know
 I know you know I know
 I know you know I know
 Every night I close my eyes I see your face
 Do I imagine you or is it you that waits
 Is this a conversation that's so strange and sweet
 Or does my memory play tricks on me
 Rattle around in my dreams why don't you
 Whisper things in secret code
 You dirty dog
 You little bird
 You billy goat
 My turtledove
 You're walking in my sleep like there is
 Something that you need to know
 I know you know I know
 I know you know I know
 You know I know you know
 I know you know I know
