At the edge of the world
Where you were no one
Yet you were the girl, the only one

At the edge of the world
In the desert heat
One shivering start, sweet, indiscreet


I knew you
When we were young

I knew you
Now you're gone


In a little narcissus pool, drowned by a spell
We saw ourselves, raw, exciteable


I knew you
When we were young
I knew you

Now you're gone

We didn't know the precariousness of our young powers

All the emptiness

Wild, wild hair, such sad eyes

White shirt, black tie, you were mine

You grabbed the ring of the carousel

Time going from heaven to hell
I knew you
