Tim Buckley – I Know I'd Recognize Your Face lyrics

It's been so long
Since you've been gone
I don't know where to begin this song
Whereever you are
I hope it's not to far
For you to hear me
It's been so wild

Lay next to me
Cry 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 filing is done (???)
Where can I find you
Daddy you have a son that'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 about that knew
Are you still lingering back
Well it's so hard to keep long (???) True love in winter
It's been so long

And I know I'd recognize your face
The season has come I can't let go
And I'd know your sweet smile any place

And I know I'd recognize your face
(any time you know now)
Anyplace anytime you know I'm still in love with you
And I know I'd recognize your face
