Never I Will Lyrics

You had a look down
Your nose at my Christmas clothes
You had a drink on my and my shabby suit
And while the night was turning black
You refused to get inside the cab
And leave downtown Beirut
I threw your cape around your shoulders
And in a voice that sounded older
Than the heads of state you hated
And you said you wanted me to kill

I said I don't know you
Though I wanted to
If I don't know you now
Never I will

First you said your family heirlooms
And your manors for a trinket
That they said would bring you luck
Than you gave your prudent body
To a sailor on shore
Leave from a ship he called the fortunate one
When you traveled 'cross the sea
Then decided you'd come home to me
But I was hanging 'neath a dead tree on a green hill

Because I don't know you
Though I wanted to
If I don't know you know
Never I will
But I tried to apologize
And that is when you came in for the kill
And when I tried to win you back
You took a rifle from your rack
And I danced till you had your fill

And when you see me on the road
You summon up your moral code
You've got something to prove to me still
