IF I HAD KNOWN
IF I HAD KNOW WHAT TROUBLE
YOU WHERE BEARING
WHAT GRIEF WHERE IN THE SILENCE
OF YOUR FACE
I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE GENTLE AND MORE CARING
AND TRY TO GIVE YOU GLADNESS FOR A SPACE
I WOULD OF BROUGHT MORE WARMTH TO THE PLACE
IF I HAD KNOWN
IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT THOUGHTS DESPAIRING DREW YOU
I WOULD OF LENT A LITTLE FRIENDSHIP TO YOU
AND SLIPPED MY HAND WITHIN YOURS
AND MADE YOUR STAY MORE PLEASANT
IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN
