WISH I’D KNOWN
(Ruth Greenwood)


The last time that I saw you
Was on a Sunday afternoon
You kissed me,
Then you climbed into your car
When you said, "I've gotta run,"
I knew you had to go
What I didn't know was how far.

Wish I’d known
Wish I’d known
I'd have framed that kiss in gold
I'd have carved your mouth in stone
I'd have fasted 'til the taste of you
Had sunk into my bones.
It was the last time, this lifetime.
Wish I’d known


I took a lot for granted.
I realize that now.
Like the hearts you drew me on our shower door.
Morning coffee on the nightstand
When you loved me, it grew cold (or “When we made love, it grew cold”)
Oh I can't believe
That I won't hold you any more.

Wish I’d known
Wish I’d known
I'd have framed that kiss in gold
I'd have carved your mouth in stone
I'd have fasted 'til the taste of you
Had sunk into my bones.
It was the last time, this lifetime.
Wish I’d known
