  • Many's the time I ran with you down
    The rainy roads of our old town
    Many the lives we lived in each day
    And buried altogether

    Don't laugh at me
    Don't look away

    You'll follow me back with the sun in your eyes
    And on your own
    Bed shaped
    In legs of stone
    You'll knock on my door and up we'll go
    In white light
    I don't think so
    But what do I know
    What do I know
    I know

    I know you think I'm holding you down
    And I've fallen by the wayside now
    And I don't understand the same things as you
    But I do

    Don't laugh at me
    Don't look away

    You'll follow me back with the sun in your eyes
    And on your own
    Bed shaped
    In legs of stone
    You'll knock on my door and up we'll go
    In white light
    I don't think so
    But what do I know
    What do I know
    I know

    and up we'll go
    In white light
    I don't think so
    But what do I know
    What do I know
    I know Writer/s: James Keith Warnock Sanger, Richard David Hughes, Thomas Oliver Chaplin, Timothy James Rice-Oxley

  • Louise from London, United Kingdomi'm pretty sure that it is reffering to homeless people these days and how everybody looks away and laughs. Just a thought. x
