"In This Lifetime" lyrics - MIKE CAMPBELL & THE DIRTY KNOBS

I have slept here for years
Or so it seems
On this pillow of tears
And a child I dreamed
Outside your balcony
Cold, soft rain
Kept us company
The ashes that remain

[Chorus:]
And I know, I'll never
Understand her
In this lifetime

Hours before the dawn
A never-ending night
Sleep just won't come as the sun comes through the blinds
She turns to me and her smile
Is worth a thousand words
Her whisper is the sweetest sound I've ever heard

[Chorus:]
And I know I'll never
Understand her, yeah
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
