lyrics

i don't know you

we confided in each other, made each the laugh
dreamed about the future and cried for the past
then the smoke blew in, and it left you nearly blind
you locked your door and stayed inside

and i thought the wounds had healed but i guess you still feel sore
and i don't know i don't know
i don't know you anymore

i was so glad to see you when they put you in my arms
we held on together and watched the coming storm
it tore up the lining and we knew not what went wrong
did i stay away too long…

you sat in my kitchen with your eyes on the floor
and i don't know i don't know
i don't know you anymore

sad, oh sadness darkened my eyes
sad, oh sadness darkened my skies...

i stumbled on your letters, happy birthday poems
i read them through tears, then i read them all again
would you run beside me now and race me home
it's years since you've been my friend

when you talk to me as if we've never talked before
i wonder if i'll ever see you coming through my door

oh, i don't know i don't know
i don't know you anymore

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
