I Knew You That Way Lyrics

The secret way long shadows bleed into the night.
The desperate way leaves in the fall hold colors tight.
The way that thunder knows the taste of summer rain.
I knew you that way.
The way cool mountain waters, dance down to the sea.
Mound by something strong, but still so wild and free.
It gives into the passion of the path it takes.
I knew you that way.

I held you closer than I had a right to hold.
But the only thing that time can't take away, is I knew you that way.

The way that skin on skin can start a crazy fire.
That no one sees but burns all night with desire.
The quiet ease that makes a lover wanna stay.
I knew you that way.

I held you closer than I had a right to hold.
But the only thing that time can't take away, is I knew you that way.

The holy way that love knows that it should never end.
The sacred way that stars got sailors home again.
Like teardrops know the words to Amazing Grace.
I knew you that way.

I knew you that way.
I knew you that way.
