I Know You Know

Can't look away
Can't look forward
I know you know
What you say
I know you know
It's leaving in vain
Maybe tomorrow
A little rain will come
And wash what's left
Revive what's done
I know you know
How hard it is
I know you know
We try.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Let sleeping dogs lie
There's no need to wake.
So many times
So many nights.
Pull the covers over.
Turn out the light.
Close the door.
And drive away.
Like so many lovers.
I don't want a fight.
I'm smarter than that.
To stir up old wounds
That weren't even mine.
It had nothing to do with me.
So I creep out the door.
But leave it unlocked.
For someone else
To stumble in.
Maybe their wounds
Will be your wounds
And you can share a secret.
And you can share scars.
Who hurt who more?
Because this time.
You'll be happy.
A passer-by, a witness,
A spectator.
