Lyrics
I watch the rain fall from my window,
See clouds colour up the sky
Why does it make me so reflective
To see you go walking byI want to know if you still love me like you used to do
I want to hear those words from you, if they’re true
I’ve heard so many strange things
Different things from different people
I don’t think I know what’s been going onEach day seems closer to that question
The one I long to ask of you
To find some space in your perfection
For a lost soul with nothing to doI want to know if you still love me
I want to hear those words from you, if they’re true
I’ve heard so many strange things
Different things from different people
I don’t think I know what’s been going onSitting here just waiting for you answer
Sitting here just waiting for your call
Sitting here just trying to understand
Why I can’t get through to youI want to know if you still love me
I want to hear those words from you, if they’re true
I’ve heard so many strange things
Different things from different people
I don’t think I know what’s been going on.Copyright 2009 Graham Armfield
Song History
‘I Want to Know’ was written in late Spring of 1987, after the end of a relationship – bet you couldn’t tell…
At the time I wasn’t in a band, and the song wasn’t right for my next band – Silent Blue – either. Because of that, the song barely got played for years – being overlooked in favour of newer material.
It was only when I was working out which songs to record for the Life Line album that I decided to put my faith in it.
Since then, I’ve grown to love the song even more and I’ve been regularly performing it at gigs and open-mic nights in the last few years.
