Back Story: This tune is presented as if it is about a relationship, but its really about existential isolation (look it up.) It was suppose to come out sounding kind of Beatle-y, but I can't get the stupid guitar player to lay off the distortion.
Lyrics:
"Only Know Your Name"

One minute, a hour, a day, one month, one year
Laughter and love and smiles and anger and tears

Maybe I am to blame
For our frustration and pain
'cuz after all this time all I know is your name

I only know your name [I only know your name]
Your souls mystery remains [I only know your name]
I leave your heart aflame [I only know your name]
I only know your name [I only know your name]

Sax solo over verse

Maybe I am to blame
For our frustration and pain
'cuz after all these years all I know is your name

I only know your name [I only know your name]
Alone against the pain [I only know your name]
The "other's" mystery remains [I only know your name]
I only know your name. [I only know your name]

½ time: And is it even the name of your soul?
Is it the name you owned before you were born?

A minute, an hour, a day, leads on to years
Laughter and love or anger, pain and fear

Maybe no ones to blame
For life's frustration and pain
Cuz' after all these years all you know is my name

You only know my name [I only know your name]
My soul's mystery remains [I only know your name]
You leave my hear aflame [I only know your name]
You only know my name [I only know your name]

Sax solo over chorus

I only know your name
