You Know
Embracing True Love: John Martyn's 'You Know' Unveiled
Lyrics
In all this mad excitement
In the midst of all this intense excitement
Isn't it fine to know that love is real
Isn't it wonderful to understand that love truly exists
And what we feel is all we have to show
Our emotions and what we experience are the only things we can display
In all this gay confusion
Amidst this joyful yet confusing state
It's a comfort just to see that what you say
It's reassuring to witness that what someone expresses verbally matches their intentions for me
Is what you mean the words are meant for me
The words spoken are specifically directed towards me
Let people say just what they will
Let others voice their opinions freely
As time goes by, I love you still
Even as time passes, my love for you remains
You are my love
You are the person I love
They think they know us, but they don't
Others believe they comprehend us, but they do not
They never will, I know they won't
They will never understand us, I am certain of it
They never will
They will never understand
You know, I tell you so
I acknowledge this, and I communicate it to you
I know, cos you tell me
I recognize this because you inform me
You know cos I tell you so
You acknowledge this because I communicate it to you
And I know, you tell me
And I am aware because you communicate it to me
Every day I see your face
Each day, encountering your presence enhances the world for me
It makes this world a better
Makes the world a better place for me to exist in
Place for me to be
A better environment for me
A better place for me to be
And every time I touch your hand
Every instance I hold your hand
My troubles fade like grains of sand
My worries dissolve like tiny grains of sand
And trickle away
And fade away gradually
People say just what they will
Let others speak their minds
As time goes by, I love you still
My affection for you endures as time elapses
You are my love
You are the one I love
Think they know us, but they don't
Others believe they comprehend us, but they do not
They never will, I know they won't
They will never understand us, I am certain of it
They never will and I don't care
They will never understand and I am unconcerned
You know, cos I tell you so
You understand because I communicate it to you
I know, cos you tell me
I understand because you inform me
You know cos I tell you so
You acknowledge this because I communicate it to you
I know, cos you tell me
I am aware because you inform me
You know, cos I tell you
You acknowledge this because I communicate it to you
I know, cos you tell me you know
I understand because you inform me that you know
I know cos you tell me it's true
I comprehend because you inform me it's true
