I heard you speak tonight You bared your soul In a private space And you saw me in you Do you know? I couldn't find the words to say That I understood you That you had described my life My wanderings in this world So accurately I almost didn't recognise myself in you You looked so scared So strong So beautiful in your battle So confused by your own mind And you broke me down I had felt so alone in my conviction That everyone else thought these things And won I hadn't imagined that anyone else Felt the way I did? I thought I was surrounded by aloneness Until I heard you You made me see that it had just been me But I was never on my own You hovered at the end Then left I'd wanted to say what seeing you meant to me But I couldn't clear my mind enough To let you know how much you'd helped me In your hour of need You gave me the strength you were searching for I hope I can tell you to your face Some day That you changed my life tonight In that way That only chance meetings can Quickly Quietly Beautifully Thankyou, my unnameable knight You do not know your own strength But I do

Some day
I heard you speak tonight You bared your soul In a private space And you saw me in you Do you know? I couldn't find the words to say That I understood you That you had described my life My wanderings in this world So accurately I almost didn't recognise myself in you You looked so scared So strong So beautiful in your battle So confused by your own mind And you broke me down I had felt so alone in my conviction That everyone else thought these things And won I hadn't imagined that anyone else Felt the way I did? I thought I was surrounded by aloneness Until I heard you You made me see that it had just been me But I was never on my own You hovered at the end Then left I'd wanted to say what seeing you meant to me But I couldn't clear my mind enough To let you know how much you'd helped me In your hour of need You gave me the strength you were searching for I hope I can tell you to your face Some day That you changed my life tonight In that way That only chance meetings can Quickly Quietly Beautifully Thankyou, my unnameable knight You do not know your own strength But I do
