Never Known

Where everybody was? Where everybody go? Well, I'm so sorry boy I don't really know Oh, how did you do today? Well, I'm telling you this much I might seem like a paying girl But I've never had enough Never known No, I'm never really known I ain't never shown To come alive and call my own I'll never be Where the sweetness settle me I ain't seen Where somebody waits for me Waste half an evening Wasted half my time Just to tell how I'm living this And keeping us in line Oh, how did you do today? Well, it never seems to speak Yes, I'm sure that I'm keeping this But it's keeping me too weak Never known No, I'm never really known I ain't never shown To come alive and call my own I'll never be Where the sweetness settle me I ain't seen Where somebody waits for me Old bones steal weakness Old bones stay sane All days come on speak to us You can be what you say You can be what you say Air, everybody sings, everybody dreams Well, you know how it went for me But it never seemed to mean Where everybody hides, everybody cries Where the sweetness settles me Well you know if you're feeling this It let's everybody cry Never known No, I'm never really known I ain't never shown To come alive and call my own I'll never be Where the sweetness settle me I ain't seen Where somebody waits for me --- Never Known - Tanita Tikaram
