Lyrics
Life As I Know Her © 1994, Words and Music by John Gahl
Seems like everywhere you go these days you see the face of angels
Looking out at your from calendars and clocks and magazines
They?re supposed to be invisible but sometimes they forget
Sometimes when you?re lucky, they will let themselves be seen.
Refrain:
She is life as I know it, she is ninety-eight point six
She is breathing out and breathing in, the center of my circle
I drink her like water when she tumbles into me
She?s the sun on the waves on the surface of my sea.
In the mansion of a life at the end of a stairway
There?s a room with no window, there?s a room without a door
It?s a room you only enter through the eyes of one who loves you
And once you?re in that room you can?t be lonely anymore
Refrain:
There really is no foothold on a planet full of oceans
There really is no architect who can build a house on sand
There isn?t an illusion that can outlast reality
There are no words for how love can drown a man
Refrain:
