Il testo della I never got to know her

(s. silverstein)

And i remember her on the streets of new york city
As i walked the night needing some place warm to go
As she passed i said "hey there's snowflakes on your lashes"
And she laughed and said, "that isn't snow"

She said, "they're feathers from a pillow god is shaking in the sky"
And she opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by
And we both began to laugh and then i looked into her eyes
And it was warm again

But
I never got to know her very well
All we did was spend a little time
You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
She's just a passing shadow on my mind

But i remember her as we woke up warm together
In her sunlit room, and she said, "i'll help you pack"
And she sewed my shirt and i said, "i'll stay forever"
But she laughed and put some cookies in my sack

And she said "leave a trail of cookie crumbs as you walk through the snow
And someday i'll follow after and i'll find you where you go"
And i left her in her doorway but why i'll never know
But i was younger then

So
I never got to know her very well
All we did was spend a little time
You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
She's just a passing shadow on my mind

Oh you're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
