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 star, sweet, indiscreet 
 I knew you when we were young 
 I knew you when we were young 
 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 when we were young 
 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 off the carousel 
 Time going from heaven to [bad word] 
 I knew you
