Somehow She Knew (7:05)

Words:  David Crosby

Music:  David Crosby and Craig Doerge



As the room slid into focus

and he woke up

With room service at the door

And he wondered why he 

never spoke up

About all of that fear before



It was standing just an inch

behind him

A shadow stalking by his side

A thing he was afraid would 

find him

And wash him away in the tide



And somehow she know why

I was crying

She knew just which fears 

I had not faced

In her eyes I could see

Where I was lying to myself

And a path that she gently traced

To where the man in the movie said

Is it all right

If I miss her tonight

And the man felt just like me



They say a wolf in a trap will

chew off his own leg

I guess I did the same

It's what you do with a thing 

you can't handle

A picture you just can't frame



And from somewhere deep in that movie

She opened a door in my chest

And delicately took out a death

That had never been laid to rest



And somehow she knew why 

I was crying

She knew just which fears I had not faced

In her eyes I could see where

I was lying

To myself

And a path that she gently traced

To where the man in the movie said

Is it all right if I miss her tonight

And the man felt just like me
