I Know I’d Recognize Your Face Songtext
von Tim Buckley

It′s been so long since you've been gone
I hardly know where to begin this song
Wherever you are I hope it′s not too far for you to hear me
It's been so hard

You laid next to me and cried please don't run
But I wouldn′t fight or carry a gun
I went far away to start a new life
If I had stayed there you′d be my wife

And I know I'd recognize your face
Your memory keeps haunting me
And I can′t forget what time won't erase

You know it′s hard for me to come back now
There's prison to face though the fighting is done
Where can I find you?

Daddy you have a son who′s never seen you
He looks just like you


And I know I'd recognize your face
Your memory keeps haunting me
And I can't forget what time won′t erase

I′ve sent this letter so many times
It keeps coming back
No one here by that name
Are you still in Quebec?

Oh it's so hard to keep warm through northern winters
It′s been so long

And I know I'd recognize your face

The seasons come I can′t let go
And I'd know your sweet smile any place

And I know I′d recognize your face
Anytime you know now
Any place anytime
You know I'm still in love with you
And I know I'd recognize your face
