I Knew You'd Understand

Well I see the homefires burnin' low
 And I know we may never rake this coal
 You got a loving mind but a weary heart
 I got an empty sugar bowl
 Well there's times you lied but I always tried to be there
 But now the bird has flown
 And I traded you for oblivion
 In the sting of the redeye zone
 And I knew you'd understand
 And I knew you like the back of my hand
 And I knew you'd understand
 Then the wine it turned against me
 And I lost m m m m my boogie shoes
 And the lights they fell with the falling tide
 And my thoughts they turned to blue
 And I ran to you, its all I could do
 When the darkness swept across my mind
 And you rode that crest like Aurora
 On the cold terminator line
 And I knew you'd understand
 And I knew you like the back of my hand
 And I knew you'd understand
 And I knew you'd understand
 And I knew you like the back of my hand
 And I knew you'd understand
 You'd understand
 You'd understand
