To Be Known
Carsie Blanton
All the melancholy on the wind
Low as a prayer spoken
You feel it blowing through you
Everywhere your heart is broken
Haunts you like a shadow when
You’re walking through the city on you own
All the ghosts who holler in the night
Try to make you lonely
And when in desperation
Someone says that you’re the only
One they want you’ll go to sleep beside them
But you’ll wake up all alone
Isn’t it all you ever wanted to be known?
Remember when you thought
Somebody else was waiting for you?
And all the emptiness would end if only they’d adore you
How you had a child’s way of dreaming
Don’t you miss it now you’ve grown?
And isn’t it all you ever wanted to be known?
