Do You Know Me

Maria Teresa Fleeman 1983 (Marietta)

Lyric
We were running through a field of dreams
We fell into a bush of thorns
Untouched by razor sharp edges
But my heart still ripped at the seams
 You put your mouth to my ear
 And spoke in tongues until it was clear
And I felt your words cut through me
 It was like you never knew me
 until now
who, what, when, why and how
 are we
 We'll see
