Will Woods - When I Wanted to Know Your Name

Having a reason to be there
Would've been contradictory to the outcome
When she would rather have had purple laced rum
I knew for sure why I had come

We we're both spared
From the lowest of the low, rock bottom despair
It surely wasn't the end

Because I wanted to know your name
And I knew your face
When I wanted to know your name

When I said that, I meant to say
"There were things she didn't want in the first place"
My hair greying by the hour
Her presence blooming like a bed of flowers

And then we took that walk to the lake
All the way down to the lake
Where I asked her if she will be mine

When I wanted to know your name
I wanted your embrace
When I wanted to know your name

I told her, "I think I'm catching pneumonia
I'm going into one of those portalets
Let's forget
Let's just roll over and forget

Roll another and the the cold
Will be the weather I wanted it to be
When I asked you to marry me

When I wanted to know your name
I wanted to remove the veil from your face
When I wanted to know your name"
