The second track off of Sleeping In A Car, the LP released by sister-trio, The Staves, in 2016.
In episode 281 of the Improv4Humans, Camilla spoke about the song:
“I had lots of questions about things that were going on, but actually in my heart of hearts, I didn’t want to know the honest answer.”
[Verse 1]
Take it from me now
Be what I will be
Take it from me now
Don't tell me
[Chorus]
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
I don't want to know
[Verse 2]
Am I in fear
Am I in doubt
Carry it within
Or carry on without
If you could see me now
I swear you'd change your mind
Keep it all for me
Just keep me in your mind
[Chorus]
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
I don't want to know
[Verse 3]
I swear this rosy wind
Will carry me away
I swear to stamp my feet
And I swear I'll never pray
[Chorus]
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
I don't want to know
[Bridge]
I swear this rosy wind
Carry me away
I swear to stamp my feet
And I swear I'll never break
Keep it with me now
On the wooden floor
Like a jail bird
Looking at me now
[Chorus]
I don't want to know
No, I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
And I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to know
[Verse 5]
I don't want to know
Did you ask me?
Did you ask me why?
Did you ask me why?
Did you ask me?
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
