i wish i knew the man i thought you were - karen black & cass mccombs lyrics

[verse 1]
we drank tea in your office against the rules
you were the finest teacher of mine in the school
your use of metaphor, perceptions profound
you answered my uncertainties, i finally found
my mentor, my anchor, the man i could turn to
but i need you know, and it’s you that i run to
i wish i knew the man i thought you were
i would tell him when you touched me
it astonished and betrayed me
i know you’re making much of me
it’s not my kind of accolade

[chorus]
i wish i knew the man i thought you were
hе’d tell me not to trust the man you arе

[verse 2]
you asked me to your office early sat*rdays
in the early morning light, you rarely held me
and from your office window, one early sat*rday
you wept as you watched me walk away
you’re sad to see me go, just to see your love absorbed into the day
i couldn’t think of a word to say
i wish i knew the man i thought you were
he would tell me that there must be some kind of a mistake
he’d perceive i’m not a woman that he can ever take
[chorus]
i wish i knew the man i thought you were
he’d tell me not to trust the man you are

[bridge]
let me run to you
and find you
in that cold morning light
on your desktop
and on your burly irish face
had asked you to change what has happened
my mentor
my hope
you grew up to help me
through those early school years
with more than books
and a sense and wisdom
but who will i find when i had you before me to cry to?
not the man i thought you were

[outro]
i wish i knew the man i thought you were
