how was i to know
Select language to translate this lyric
How was I to know you would call me a waterfall
And give me words like rubies
After all, I am a poet's daughter
And words come to me as no surprise
How was I to know my heart would tremble and fall
And give a glow like fire
After all, I am a candlemaker's daughter
And fire comes to me as no surprise
How was to know you would crash into my mind
Like children hit the water at summer time
I am a pilot's daughter
And a crash comes to me as no surprise
How was l to know your memory would shimmer and steam
And leave a night of wonder on my dreams
I am a boilermaker's daughter
And steaming comes to me as no surprise
