I wrote this song and originally performed it, with different lyrics, with a regionally-known college rock band in 1968. This version contains a few recorded parts from a 1987 self-made demo.
I Know Her Name - lyrics
You find the girl who’s living in your dreams,
She’s flesh and blood, she must be what she seems;
The master of your circumstance, you calculate your aim,
But where is she? I heard she went away,
Her friends they don’t know why—I know her name.
She tells you that her love can lift the world,
You’re living for your weekends with the girl;
She says this time she’ll be there, her heart is yours again,
But where is she? I heard she went away,
Her friends they don’t know why—I know her name.
I Know her name, she sounds just the same as the
Girl who led me ‘round the circle game.
Apologies are flying from her car,
She says she wants to get to where you are;
Again she says she sorry, again she takes the blame,
Why can’t you see? I heard she left today,
Her friends they told a lie—I know her name.
