When I Met You - David Bowie

Written by：David Bowie

You knew just everything

But nothing at all

Now the moon is dark

Feels like pain again

You could feel my breath

You opened my eyes

For I could not see

When I met you

When I met you you're feeling again

I could not speak you're drowning in pain

You opened my mouth you're walking in mist

You opened my heart you're living again

My spirit rose she tore you down

The marks and stains happens all the same

Could not exist you were afraid

When I met you

Now it's all the same

It's all the same

The sun is gone

It's all the same

But when I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

You were afraid

She stole your heart

You don't understand

Should be ashamed

You should have walked

She tore you down

She tore you down

The edge had become the center of my world

The seams of my life

The streams of daydream

Like the wounds of a friend

Not the kiss of a foe

The peck of a blackened eye

A lie for the crown

When I met you

I could not speak

How I met you

Then I met you

My spirit rose

My kind of truth

Could not exist

When I met you

Now it's all the same

It's all the same

The sun is gone

It's all the same

But when I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

I was the walking dead

I was kicked in the head

It was such a time

It was such a time

I was crushed inside

I was torn inside

When I met you

When I met you

I was too insane

Could not trust a thing

I was off my head

I was filled with truth

It was not god's truth

Before I met you
