From the My Flame Burns Blue liner notes by Elvis Costello:
I wrote the original draft of this song for the blues balladeer Charles Brown, perhaps best known for songs such as ‘Merry Christmas, Baby’ and ‘Black Night’ and whose vocal style is said to have been an early influence on both Ray Charles...
[Verse 1]
Upon a veil of midnight blue
There hung a crescent moon to light the view
But you didn't whisper the words when the moment arose
I wonder how she knows
[Verse 2]
You find your tongue is tied, your words escape and hide
But she's so patient and kind, she's prepared to read your mind
That's all very well till you find because of the wine you drank
Your mind is just a blank
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 2]
You find your tongue is tied, your words escape and hide
But she's so patient and kind, she's prepared to read your mind
That's all very well till you find because of the wine you drank
Your mind is just a blank
[Verse 3]
I wonder how she knows, I guess she will wonder until
You pluck up the courage to tell her how you feel
So close you can feel her heart trembling, you look in her eyes as they close
I wonder how she knows
[Outro]
I wonder how she knows
