Know Me Well

I stumbled across Roo Panes by chance on YouTube one night. His songs are absolutely amazing. He sings with such soul and he has such a powerful voice. This is definitely music that I can listen to at 2am in the morning when the world is asleep and there is nothing but silence filling the four walls that surround me. This guy is incredible - why on earth he has not had any hits on the charts here in South Africa I just don't know. It is very seldom these days that there is a song that really speaks to me. My other favourite that he sings is Lullaby Love. 

Well you know me with that ancient gaze

Stripping down with yesterday's eyes

You know me as I was you see me as I will be

And I still had a lot of growing 

When you took me and you shaped me with those hands

You know me better than myself

Make me better than I am

Oh, you know me well

Know me well

Know me well

Oh, you know me well

Know me well

Know me well

When I think upon my past

I see I loved you many years before you came

In my hopes and my dreams 

With the wax and the moon wanes

And you saw what I could be 

Please teach me how to be what I was made to be

See without you I was nothing

But with you can be anything

Oh, you know me well

Know me well

Know me well

Oh, you know me well

Know me well

Know me well

What can I fear

When I know that I walk by your side

You're the fortress

Within which I got nothing to hide

None can take me

I'm the tower the world couldn't fell

'Cos I'm stronger

When I know that you know me well

Know me well

Know me well

Oh, you know me well

Know me well

Know me well

Lullaby Love

An avenue once bent in shadow,

In a morning straight and hallow.

You hold high a destination,

You sing to me of sweet revelation.

I feel the quickening in my step,

But I don't even touch the ground.

'Cause when I'm seeing double,

It's your lullaby love that keeps me from trouble,

It's your lullaby love that's keeping me level,

It's your lullaby love that keeps me awake.

When this voice retires from talking,

When these ears are tired of ringing.

When my feet get bored of travelling,

And it looks like it's all unravelling.

When this heart's too old for dreaming,

That's when I hear the angels sing your lullaby.

'Cause when I'm seeing double

It's your lullaby love that keeps me from trouble,

It's your lullaby love that's keeping me level,

It's your lullaby love that keeps me awake.

'Cause when I'm seeing double

It's your lullaby love that keeps me from trouble,

It's your lullaby love that's keeping me level,

It's your lullaby love that keeps me awake.
