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 Bound 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 long 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 it should never end The sacred way the 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
