When all our old songs and carnivals and crimes Die frozen like a harvest not reached in time We cling to the memory of the love inside the vine Won't you know me without the champagne and wine? Won't you know me now? You were a friend of mine ♪ We beat our thoughts to a pulp, and they rot there in the bed Every word is spoken and still nothing is said When all the fallow fields are poisoned and dry Won't you know me, forsaken though, am I? Won't you know me now? You were a friend of mine ♪ Where's the green, the new green, on the cusp of being born? Ripped too soon from the womb, lifeless and torn When all my fallow fields are poisoned and dry Won't you know me, forsaken though, am I? Won't you know me now? You were a friend of mine Won't you know me now? You were a friend of mine
