How was I to know?

Kinship there in the reverie

It’s a climbing wind

We go through

Not asking why

              G        D
How was I to sing?

Happens all of the time they say

             G              D
You and I, supposed to know

Each other

Better than the clouds these days

Honest

Always

Em            D          Am
  Life in the time of captivity

Em            D          C
  Love in the time of sanctuary

Kinship there in the reverie

Guess it goes to show

We don’t speak

Half truths each

         Em
When we have the day

        G
It’s a climbing wind

   D
We go through

 C
Two by two

    Em
Not asking why

            G
It was all a show then

      D
Blue river true

 C
Running through you

Em
Always

Some go out to Rikers in a moment's grace

              G   D          C
I was hanging on coattails, fare thee wells

         Em
All that jiving around

                 G
Guess it goes to show

    D           C
We don’t speak half truths each

         Em
When we have the day

        G                 D
You and I, supposed to know

      C
Each other
