You thought I needed something from you But we met by the canal in the night You though I needed something from you But I didn't need light You thought I needed something from you But you gave it to me From your chest coursed all the words and sweetness of loss and life The message I needed to move on to the next world And though I never saw your face (in that dark) I won't forget.
